Technical Services Quarterly declared that the third edition "must
now be considered the essential textbook for collection development
and management ... the first place to go for reliable and
informative advice."" For the fourth edition expert instructor and
librarian Johnson has revised and freshened this resource to ensure
its timeliness and continued excellence. Each chapter offers
complete coverage of one aspect of collection development and
management, including numerous suggestions for further reading and
narrative case studies exploring the issues. Thorough consideration
is given totraditional management topics such as organization of
the collection, weeding, staffing, and policymaking; cooperative
collection development and management; licenses, negotiation,
contracts, maintaining productive relationships with vendors and
publishers, and other important purchasing and budgeting topics;
important issues such as the ways that changes in information
delivery and access technologies continue to reshape the
discipline, the evolving needs and expectations of library users,
and new roles for subject specialists, all illustrated using
updated examples and data; and marketing, liaison activities, and
outreach. As a comprehensive introduction for LIS students, a
primer for experienced librarians with new collection development
and management responsibilities, and a handy reference resource for
practitioners as they go about their day-to-day work, the value and
usefulness of this book remain unequaled.
