E., Jr. Academic Libraries Books College Libraries Higher Education Library Acquisition Library Collections Library Material Selection Library Surveys Private Colleges Small Colleges This investigation of how ten small, private college libraries go about collecting books focuses on the degree of responsibility and control those libraries exercise over what is included in their collections. The findings and conclusions of the study are based upon interviews with library administrators and acquisitions librarians at Middlebury College, Bowdoin, Colby, Bates, Wellesley, Amherst, Trinity, Hamilton, Union, and Colgate. These colleges were chosen because of their similarities of purpose, staff size, student enrollment, faculty, number of library volumes added annually, library budgets, and library holdings. Chapters identify the objectives of the study, the methodology used, findings, conclusions, and recommendations. Appendices include the application for a fellowship to conduct the study, the collection development questionnaire, and the tabulated answers. (FM) |
