Importantly, the book provides examples of best-practice and shows how practical lessons can be learned from the experiences of the innovators in the field. - Nothing comparable in print and has contemporary relevance - Increased recognition of the importance of local studies - Covers the electronic revolution which has not been addressed in this field

Download and read online ebook Non-standard Collection Management write by M. Pearce. This book was released on 2018-11-09. Non-standard Collection Management available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. First published in 1992, this volume recognises that it is not unusual, when practising librarianship, to come across small to medium collections within the library, which, because they are different from the main collection, are outside the librarian’s experience or are a new type of material not properly managed or exploited. Therefore this volume contains chapters on a range of materials which are united by a certain rarity in the experience of most librarians. It is aimed at those who need to know how to progress from scratch with a collection, but not necessarily to take it into complete specialization. There is information about characteristics of each type of material as well as guidance for their management. Lists of further reading are provided and a note of some important collections.
