This latest edition covers all phases of collection development-from needs assessment, policies, and the selection process (theory and practice) to publishers, serials, protection, legal issues, censorship, and intellectual freedom. Each chap- ter has been extensively revised to reflect changing practices, policies, and tech nologies. To this end, some chapters electronic materials, government informa tion, audiovisual materials, and resource sharing-have been almost completely rewritten. New to this edition is a CD containing supplementary material; a com panion Web site (http://www.lu.com) will also be maintained to ensure URLs referenced throughout the text are kept up-to-date
