Resumen de Collection Management Basics, Eighth Edition

Rayla E. Tokarz (res.)

• Collections Management Basics is a textbook focused on all aspects of collections—from selection to preservation—for all types of libraries. This updated edition is the eighth in the series and continues to discuss different aspects of the collection management cycle in easy-to-understand chapters. Each chapter draws attention to information with callout boxes such as “Check This Out,” which highlights specific articles or examples. Another callout box titled “Something to Watch” captures a new trend in collections. In addition, “From the Advisory Board” provides a narrative from one of the three advisory board members from public and school libraries who helped contribute to this edition. The “From the Advisory Board” callout boxes resembled the quick tips that you would hear in between sessions at a library conference akin to “at my library we did this” type advice, which could either be helpful or impractical depending on the reader
