商品簡介
North American academic and public librarians describe approaches to collection development carried out in support of professional and/or applied academic programs such as law, teacher education, medicine, business, architecture, or even library science itself. They cover creating plans for budgeting and buying; how discipline shapes practice; collecting for the professional subfields; and case studies, projects, and surveys. Among the topics are approval profiles from a vendor's perspective, information sources and collection planning for engineering, developing a juvenile literature collection in an academic library, supporting the College of Health Sciences and Human Services and the School of Nursing at Murray State University, and collaborating with faculty to weed an entire science and engineering book collection.
