Bur there'a another strategy that's gaining momentum. This book gathers together the best practitioners in the emerging field of customer-based=collection developmemt, whose goal is to find out what library users need and want and manage collections accordingly. Speaking from firsthand experience, professionals from a variety of academic and public libraries *Offer strategies for planning and implementing a customer-based collection program *Summarize its potential impact on a library's budget *Discuss cataloging implications, and other day-to-day operational issues *Present guidelines for evaluating and marketing Customer-based collection development is one way for libraries to navigate the rapid changes in what users expect of libraries, and this new anthology is an important guide to this approach.
