Abstract

This article describes the methodology the Memorial Library of the University of Wisconsin-Madison has used in developing a nationally important collection of contemporary Danish literature. It stresses the importance of cooperative efforts, analyzes the merits of various procedures, in particular approval plans against title-by-title selection, and suggests various means of coping with the publications of small presses and the identifying of important new authors. It concludes that only a multifaceted approach that takes into account a particular country's literary history and publication pattern is successful.
