Local Studies Collection Management - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Whether libraries have a designated Local Studies Librarian or not, they have to provide this service and manage their own local studies collection. This book will be a guide to key areas they need to know about, each chapter by a different expert: introduction and background; resource providers (who holds what types of record); policy, finance, staffing, accommodation; different media - sound, print, photographic - information they hold and how to access it; acquisition, cataloguing and classification; management and preservation; marketing the collection; dealing with enquiries. The guide is aimed at public, academic and specialist librarians, archivists, and will also be relevant to those working with local authority records, local history societies and private collections.
