Library Resources and Collection Development: A Study
Resumo
The selection activities of the public, academic and large special libraries will also vary depending upon their sizes. In small public libraries, most of the librarians are involved in the selection procedure. As the library system grows, adds branches and expands services, selection is usually delegated to the departmental heads or branch library supervisors. A large metropolitan public library system frequently assigns the selection activities to a committee composed of representatives for all service programs, though not from every branch library. This committee formulates a list of title that different service programs may select from thus serving as a first level screening group.
