This valuable and well-written tool for YA librarians and textbook for MLIS students covers in detail all the various aspects of collection building and development, and is an essential resource for new and experienced YA librarians. It's a one stop shop on the topic, examining the entire cycle of collection development and management in clear, precise, and readable prose, from an assessment and examination of teens and materials for them to managing and maintaining the YA collection.--Joni Richards Bodart, Associate Professor, School of Information, San Jose State University In this excellent resource, Amy S. Pattee shows how developing a user-centered collection better serves the young adults in our libraries. In Developing Library Collections for Today's Young Adults: Ensuring Inclusion and Access, Second Edition, Pattee provides guidelines and working examples of how to write collection development policies, how to respond to challenges, and how to develop a detailed understanding of the diverse audience the young adult collection must serve.--RoseMary Ludt, author, editor of Teen Librarian Bookshelf series, and former editor-in-chief of VOYA Magazine
