The Textbooks-in-College-Libraries Mystery |
|
| Abstract: | This article investigates whether textbooks are appropriate for a college library collection. Collection development policies and other professional commentary offer little clear direction since they do not define what a textbook is. Evidence and opinion suggest that it would be wise to eliminate the ''textbook'' label, treat these resources as ''books,'' and apply to them the standard collection development criteria. |
