Review :
Clear and well organized...This book would well serve any school library management course and should be consulted by those of us "in the trenches" who need material to back policy proposals, funding requests, or grant writing. ...this text provides a general guide for any teacher-librarian serious about responsibly developing a school collection. All facets of collection management are included in the text, from drawing up a policy for collection development through to the funding of such a project....it would be suitable as a text for use in library studies courses at TAFE and university undergraduate levels. ...the conceptual discussions of collection management issues and practices are well written and...thought provoking...the balance of local library applications...will make the material immediately valuable. The book succeeds in communicating the complexities of collection management. It represents a valuable resource for school librarians facing the challenges of this work. ...useful for teaching the theories involved in collection management in school library media centers.
