Managing the Reference Collection (Ala Editions)

By Christopher W. Nolan and American Library Association

The reference collection is often seen as the heart of the library. For larger and well funded libraries, the reference collection may comprise a whole room or series of rooms in the library building with computers to locate information offsite. For other libraries, it may include a small number of very select print and electronic sources. The true measure of the library's reference collection is not how many volumes it has, but how readily patrons are able to find the information they need.
