.. .a collection management book that librarians will actually read from cover to cover. Its simple format of three chapters covering management objectives, gathering and analyzing collection data, and weeding, isn't overwhelming and technical... The chapter on weeding is especially interesting and includes what to do when patrons are pulling things out of the trash as quickly as they are put in. Highly Recommended.
