SUMMARY: [From barnesandnoble.com] 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.

THOUGHTS: I read this cover to cover for class... and learned nothing.

RATING: 5/10 [Meh.]
