The Selection Connection

Abstract

Collection development librarians often use Web resources as they select materials, but only a few libraries have built working Web pages for this purpose. We suggest that a collection development Web page is a valuable asset to an academic library. A Web page designed for internal use can be used to share information among selectors and can provide a single source for links to Web tools used by collection development librarians. We discuss sources of Web-based bibliographers’ tools and suggest useful types of information to include on collection development Web sites.
