Working with Collections: An Introduction for Support Staff deals
with the technical service aspect of library work- the processes
that put a book on the shelf or online. It provides an introduction
to publishers, vendors, preparing items for use, and caring for
items in the collections and is both a text for professors who
teach in library support staff programs and their students, and an
introductory manual for support staff who work in libraries. This
material is written in clear language with practical examples of
how performance can contribute to exemplary library service. It is
aligned with the ALA support staff standards and prepares library
support staff to: *Know how to use an integrated library system and
other appropriate online tools. *Know the basic principles of
collection development and management. *Assist with decisions
regarding selection, de-selection, retention and replacement of all
types of library resources. *Know the basic principles, and can
apply, the appropriate procedures to the processes that provide
users with access to a wide variety of content. *Know the various
ways in which content, in multiple formats, is produced and
distributed to libraries. *Understand the value of resource sharing
agreements and apply them to collection decisions. *Know and use
the recognized standard evaluative sources to assist with
collection development. *Know the principles and basic practices
regarding the preservation of library resources. *Apply appropriate
methods and techniques for accurate preparation of library
resources *Explain and apply policies regarding library
