This sixth edition of the classic first produced by Carter and Bonk 25 years ago has been restructured and revised to reflect the major changes in collection development theory and practice in recent years, especially the increased emphasis on collection development. New topics include the growth of resource-sharing networks, the importance of nonbook formats, the greater complexity of censorship challenges, and the expansion of the library's potential informational role.

Building Library Collections

New in paperback! In this fundamental revision of Susan Akers' classic, the authors give the rules for using Dewey Decimal Classification tables clearly and briefly. They do not suggest all the ways of cataloging a small library, treat L.C. classification or subject headings (or other systems), or explain the use of computers in cataloging, but they do discuss the continuing impact of automation on even the smallest library's catalogs. The discussion and examples- almost all new-reflect A.A.C.R.2, Sears (11th ed.), and Abridged Dewey. Cloth edition published in 1984.
