Guides to Collection Development for Children and Young Adults
Designed to assist librarians with collection development, this work identifies, describes, and evaluates more than 800 significant bibliographies of children's and young adult materials. Emphasis is on print and nonprint works published from 1986 through 1996, with some earlier but still useful publications. Special attention is given to such electronic media as CD-ROMs and the Internet. The book is arranged by broad subjects with essential and highly recommended titles noted. Annotations indicate scope of a work, purpose, contents, suitability, special features, and general usefulness. A separate section indicates sources that are particularly useful in building professional collections for parents and educators. Author, title, and subject indexes help users locate specific information. This work updates Guides to Library Collection Development by the same authors (Libraries Unlimited, 1994). Its deep and comprehensive coverage makes it invaluable to school and public libraries.

Brilliance of an eclectic scholar.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Few individuals make an impact in the lives of so many. Hannah Nuba was such a special person. Founder of The Early Childhood Resource and Information Center for the New York Public Library her influence on the lives of the young was manifest. Her "Stellar" guest lecture series brought the greats of Education to the Center to speak to scholars and parents alike. She passed away in 2000 but she will never be forgotten.

This is a superb and easy-to-use handbook, which provides subject access to bibliographies, indexes, and professional reference materials. This is a valuable guide for anyone developing children's and young adult literature collections. As a graduate student, I often use this excellent reference guide for research. I highly recommend this professional resource.
