Collection Management Basics, 6th Edition by G Edward Evans

Collection Management Basics, 6th Edition by G Edward Evans

Now thoroughly revised for today's 21st-century library environment, this title provides a complete update of the classic Developing Library and Information Center Collections—the standard text and authority on collection development for all types of libraries and library school students since 1979. The well-established gold standard for teaching collection development, this text provides current and thorough coverage to all of the processes and issues surrounding managing library collections. This latest edition continues to cover all aspects of collection development and management, including subjects such as needs assessment, policies, selection process theory and practice, protection, legal issues, censorship, and intellectual freedom. The book represents a total restructuring of the previous work, and reflects changes brought on by new technology and the up-and-down economy. Students and practitioners alike will benefit greatly from this up-to-date and essential text.

"The authors have attempted and succeeded in making the information as meaningful and current as possibleBecause every aspect of collection management seems to have been adequately covered in this work, it is recommended as an up-to-date textbook for library and information science courses in both graduate and undergraduate programs as well as for training purposes within libraries." - ARBA
