Rezensionen

A school or district would find many useful models here to avoid reinventing policy statements. Booklist, October 1, 2007 This useful book is the second volume in the Good Policy, Good Practice series edited by Kirsti Nelson and Martin Dowding. It expands upon the issues and practices the authors explored in their 1996 book, Library Collection Development Policies: A Reference and Writers' Handbook...Because it includes information on the unique issues related to electronic resources, this title would be useful for both experienced and new librarians. -- Spring 2008, Vol. 47, Issue 3 Reference and User Services Quarterly Hoffman (library science, Sam Houston State U.) and Wood (U. of South Alabama Library System) offer this book for library school students and professionals on the compilation, revision, and implementation of collection development policies. The book, along with a companion volume, is an outgrowth of their Library Collection Development Policies: A Reference and Writers' Handbook from 1996. The present volume addresses advances in technology by including new policy examples in different library settings from North America. They present policy components that are standardized sections most likely to be found in school library development statements, based on a survey of many written and online policies. These address elements that create a blueprint for building library holdings, ethical and legal issues relating to the use of digital resources, and digital information within the context of traditional library operations. Reference and Research Book News, August 2007 The contents of this book are based on an excellent idea. Technicalities, July/August 2008
