Abstract

Small academic libraries typically rely more heavily upon classroom faculty as book selectors than do large academic libraries in which librarians and book jobbers are the principals involved. Given the various constraints that small academic libraries face, it is important for them to rationalize the entire collection development process and also to employ the most effective agents as book selectors. This article describes a study of the relative effectiveness of classroom faculty and librarians as book selection agents in a small academic library.
