The book Collection Development and Management (hereafter named the Book) was published in September 2016. Since Professor Wu Mingde's Library Collection Development was published in 1991, the Book is the first significant study of library collection development theory and practice in the new generation. The Book offers a comprehensive description of library collection development and management, academic communication and publishing, collection development and management policy, book materials selection and acquisition, electronic resources development and management, community analysis and collection marketing, collection weeding out, collection evaluation, preservation and maintenance, and the oversight of collection development and cooperation, in 11 chapters. Based on the Book, this article reviews the publication about book selection and acquisition and collection development in Taiwan since 1972, with a comparative analysis of the Book's authors, contents and organization, as well as a comparative analysis with Library Collection Development by Wu Mingde and Library Materials Selection and Acquisition by Wang Meiling, to assess their characteristics, strengths and weaknesses. Finally, this article puts forward some ideas on establishing diverse collections for a new era. |
