Collection Development and Management for 21st Century Library Collections is an A to Z guide perfect for students and beginning librarians, yet full of sage advice and new ideas for experienced practitioners. Collection development and management practices, like most everything in the library world, are changing rapidly. This fully revised second edition will fill different gaps created by this flux and bring the book up to date on electronic materials and new practices.

Each chapter includes discussion questions, activities, references, and selected readings. Key features include samples of a needs assessment report, a collection development policy, an approval plan, and an electronic materials license.

Featuring an updated vendor list, an updated bibliography and updated materials for use on a Web Extra (including new collection development plans with accompanying permissions), this new edition covers:

- New technology and self-publishing

- Self-censorship as a component of intellectual freedom

- New and revised electronic sources for selection, with emphasis on electronic sources

- Weeding of electronic materials.
