Building a History Collection and Keeping It Lean |
| |
Abstract: | A light-hearted discussion on the uncontrollable growth of history collections in libraries, and some possible ways to control that growth. Topics covered include: weeding, gifts, budget allocations, historians and the packrat mentality, and runaway spending. Solutions suggested include book supports for historians, establishing a trade balance in history books, and the allocation of shelves. |
