Meeting Modern Demands of Collection Evaluation: A New Approach
Abstract
According to an old saying, the best library in the world is one that is empty, for all its books have been borrowed. But modern libraries are bursting with books and other resources and their burgeoning collections defy conventional stock‐taking. The unprecedented growth of knowledge in contemporary times has created complex problems and new challenges, not the least important of which is collection evaluation. This essay describes one way to meet this increasingly important problem by taking a new approach and creating a new model.
