crl-13762	Williamson, John G.	Collection Development in Libraries: A Treatise (Book Review)	1981-11-01	2	.pdf	application/pdf	1096	59	57	ISBN 0-89232-106-7 Part A; 0-89232-162-8 Part B. As library budgets decline in real dollars and as· both faculty interests and the range of potentially useful material continue to broaden, the art of collection development has come into its own. The essays group into five categories: (1) collection management, which includes or- ganization, personnel, budgetary allocation, and other matters; (2) the selection processes themselves, including blanket orders, Latin American and European acquisitions, out- of-print buying, and preservation; (3) the use of quantitative methods such as citation and circulation analysis to guide development; (4) special problems arising from format (mi- croforms, media) or sources (government documents); and (5) new directions, which includes such diverse subjects as education for collection development (Charles B. Os- burn) and creativity, collection manage- ment, and development.	cache/crl-13762.pdf	txt/crl-13762.txt
