Review
?Evans and Saponaro's work has been the standard text and authority on collection development for all types of libraries. It still is....So if you are a current student or want to get serious about updating what you learned long ago in library school, then this is certainly the core center of professional reading....Evans and Saponaro is recommended as a central work.??Teacher Librarian
Book Description
This latest edition continues to cover all phases of collection development--from needs assessment, policies, and the selection process (theory and practice) to publishers, serials, protection, legal issues, censorship, and intellectual freedom. Each chapter has been extensively revised to reflect changing practices, policies, and technologies and, in some cases, completely rewritten.
A new addition is a CD containing supplementary material; a companion Web site () is maintained to ensure URLs referenced throughout the text are kept up-to-date.
