Harris, Matthew Academic Libraries Books Fiction Library Collection Development Library Collections Library Materials Library Policy Library Technical Processes Nonfiction Publications Weeding (Library) A selection of academic libraries was studied to examine ownership of best-sellers from 1940 to 1990. The trend is to keep a higher percentage of older best-sellers in fiction than newer ones. Nonfiction appears to be more sporadic but still follows this trend. Findings indicate new collection development policies may be needed to protect important works of fiction and nonfiction. (AEF)
