COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT
COMING SOON Crash Course in Collection Development
3RD EDITION | WAYNE DISHER
The third edition of Crash Course for Collection Development is a musthave for librarians just entering the field and professionals in need of a refresher in effective library operations. It now covers all aspects of collection development and management in all library environments including public, academic, and school libraries.
Focusing on collection development basics, it begins with information on gathering statistics and analyzing community needs to design a collection that meets user needs. It goes on to guide users in writing a collection development policy, budgeting, selecting materials, managing vendor relations, understanding the publishing industry, merchandising and promoting the collection, and handling complaints.
Newly included in the third edition is a discussion of new purchasing and lending models; information for academic and school librarians; and such new trends as libraries as spaces for users, collection diversity issues, makerspaces, nontraditional collections, pop-up libraries, the digital divide, and noncirculating collections.
Author Wayne Disher has once again written a practical and simple introduction to an important, complex, and evolving area of library service.

The Fight against Book Bans
Perspectives from the Field
SHANNON M. OLTMANN, EDITOR
Book bans and challenges frequently make the news, but when the reporting ends, how do we put them in context? The Fight against Book Bans captures the views of dozens of librarians and library science professors regarding the recent flood of book challenges across the United States, gathered in a comprehensive analysis of their impact and significance. It also serves as a guide to responding to challenges.
Chapter authors provide first-hand accounts of facing book challenges and describe how they have prepared for challenges, overcome opposition to certain books, and shown the value of specific library materials. Library science faculty with a range of specialties provide relevant background information to bolster these on-the-ground views. Together, the chapters both articulate the importance of intellectual freedom and demonstrate how to convey that significance to others in the community with passion and wisdom. This volume provides a timely and thorough overview of the complex issues surrounding the ongoing spate of book challenges faced by public and school libraries.
FEATURES
• Reinforces the significance of intellectual freedom to public and school libraries
• Describes how different librarians have responded to challenges and explained the importance of intellectual freedom to their communities
• Acts as a step-by-step guide to responding to challenges
