Really unevenly written - some chapters are wonderfully clear and concise, and others meander all over the place. Also somewhat outdated at this point - unless you really feel your library should have a big collection of CD ROMs. (

This series of books all run along the same line - they are good basic books that do no go overly deeply into the subject matter. As someone who has no personal experience working in libraries, I found some good information in this book, perhaps more than other books in this series, but still not quite enough to justify the textbook level price. I think that this book would be far too remedial to be of much value for someone who has worked in a library already. (

The fifth edition of this textbook is actually quite readable (some chapters more than others) and at times interesting, and the information presented is clear. (

Agree with "duller than dirt, but useful" and would add that it's doorstop-sized. Nicely supplemented in my case with lively lectures and Peggy Johnson's "Fundamentals of Collection Development". Comprehensive, a good reference. Becomes more outdated every year in terms of electronic resources and selection methods, but new editions address those issues. (

"[A] wonderful resource that every student should keep in their professional library and refer to as issues pop up during their career. … Personally, I am going to keep my copy close by and continue to double-check my own understanding of issues."

afegit per Edward | editaTechnical Services Quarterly, Glenda A. Thornton (Jul 2, 2007)

"Though the book seeks to bring into play some detail of collection development, its real value is in its function as an overview … drawing a general picture of this important area of librarianship for novice students in library science. Thus, the Evans/Saponaro text is an excellent starting place to be supplemented in the classroom …"

No Library of One Million Volumes can be all BAD!
-- from a cover, Antiquarian Bookman

We were told that if one put one million monkeys at one million typewriters,
they would, in time, produce the complete works of Shakespeare.
Now that we have the Internet, we know that is just not true.

I worry more about poor quality of information online,
and students' lack of skills for evaluating information,
than...about frequently discussed evils like pornography.
-- John Leland
"Beyond Littleton: The Secret Life of Teens,"
Newsweek, May 10, 1999

More than eight years have passed since Angels From Russia (1998) was nominated for the prestigious Booker McConnell Prize, an event that created a controversy.
