Summary: Information rich!
Comment: Evans does a great job of giving the amateur an education in collection topics such as censorship,development policies, serials, electronic resources, government documents and many other pressing issues. I had to read this book for a class and, although, I thought the information he provided was valuable, it was not represented in a very endearing way. To say the least, it was dry!
Rating: 4
Summary: A Book to Keep
Comment: I have the 4th Edition and found it very helpful in getting a feel for what collection development is all about. I plan to keep this book as a guide to use in my role as a media specialist. Valuable information of censorship, book reviews, and writing a collection development policy. Written in an easy to understand, "non-techno" way.
