Item description from seller

Edited by Dan Hazen and James Henry Spohrer. In seven essays, this volume addresses area studies collections and collection development from the vantage of several specific world areas, most of them associated with longstanding academic specializations. The volume particularly emphasizes the current State of area studies librarianship, both in general terms and for selected regions. These essays serve as a practical and theoretical guide to university and college administrators, library directors and heads of collection development, as well as selection practitioners who work to create foreign-language collections for research libraries. The volume constitutes a general introduction for new practitioners and even the most experienced Area Studies librarians will find useful practical advice for reviewing and refining their existing collecting practices. Coverage includes East Asia, Latin America, Southeast Asia, Africa, South Asia and the Romance language areas of Europe, as well as the German/Nordic/Netherlandic countries. Each essay presents the Area Studies topic in question from an historical perspective and provides background on its present status and anticipated future development. Special emphasis is placed on the techniques of both print and digital collecting and on the assessment methods by which collection strengths and future needs are determined. Guidelines for expenditures for both collections and collateral activities such as providing access and preservation are provided, and contributors also supply extensive documentation for the burgeoning array of online digital resources. VIII,163 Seiten, gebunden (Beiträge zum Buch- und Bibliothekswesen; Band 52/Harrassowitz Verlag 2007). Früher EUR 68,00. Gewicht: 457 g - Gebunden/Gebundene Ausgabe.
