Focus of the Book
This edited volume will be comprised of chapters written by practitioners in the community colleges across the country. Collection development and technical services are the silent work that takes place in most libraries. Although the work takes place in the background, the importance of this work should not be overlooked as it ensures that libraries have relevant, usable content that is easily accessible by students. Collection development management and technical services processes have a wide range of successful models for implementation. This book will highlight exceptional practices and innovative approaches to collection development and technical services in community college libraries.
