Thorough consideration is given to:* Traditional management topics such as organization of the collection, weeding, staffing, and policymaking* Maintaining productive relationships with vendors and publishers, and other important purchasing and budgeting topics* The effects of rapidly changing information delivery and access technologies, the evolving needs and expectations of library users, and new roles for subject specialists* Marketing, liaison activities, and outreach* Scholarly communication Johnson offers a comprehensive tour of this essential discipline and situates the fundamental ideas of collection development and management in historical and theoretical perspective, bringing this modern classic fully up to date.
