An Introduction to Collection Development for School Librarians by Mona Kerby
Applying an informal and practical approach, Kerby provides beginning librarians with the essential steps to effectively manage a vibrant school library collection. Kerby argues that building a quality collection is no longer enough and offers strategies to ensure that learners actively engage with the materials.
Kerby brings a wealth of experience to the topic... Useful for those newly responsible for school library collections and on the verge of panic. The informal tone would go far to calm someone intimidated by the responsibilities of developing and managing a collection." — Technicalities
