Emerging Patterns of Collection Development in Expanding Resource Sharing, Electronic Information, and Network Environment presents readers with the most important and relevant collection development and networking issues facing the library community today. Presented to encourage librarians and students to continue investigation and discussion of these critical issues, this book explores the relationship between electronic resources, resource sharing, and collection development from the perspectives of librarians, vendors, and network administrators. Along the way, readers learn how to save precious budgetary dollars and improve collections by utilizing resource-sharing technology to provide library users with access to information.A particularly enlightening study included in Emerging Patterns of Collection Development in Expanding Resource Sharing, Electronic Information, and Network Environment shows how Louisiana State University Libraries, wrestling with the issue of ownership versus access, cancelled $446,000 of subscriptions and offered to purchase articles from these cancelled journals for faculty and graduate students upon request. Exactly how LSU saved 90 on the 20 most frequently accessed titles and how they decided which titles to cut are thoroughly examined. Other critical advice and guidance is given to readers, as the book:
- presents 8 vital elements to the design of collection development policies

- presents a study of “friendly” and “predatory” periodicals and shows how to use price histories as a means of making subscription decisionsEmerging Patterns of Collection Deve

However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
