Synopsis

Nonfiction Collection Guidelines for Smaller Libraries: Core Collection Development offers guidance for librarians in smaller libraries in developing and maintaining a strong nonfiction collection.

Authored by Mary Bushing and the Montana State Library, this work emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded core collection that supports lifelong learning and community engagement. Although some information might be dated, the underlying principles of thoughtful collection development remain relevant for librarians seeking to build a valuable and responsive nonfiction collection.
