✦ Synopsis

and Chapter 12 for evaluation of access, including literature that addresses the costeffectiveness of serial subscription versus document delivery, the evaluation of document delivery vendor performance and interlibrary loan as well as table of content service evaluation. Overall, the chapters are well-organized, and the cross-references are very helpful to readers. The annotations are a combination of descriptive and evaluative, teasing out each entryTs content, scope, significance and, occasionally, the limitations.

One minor quibble about the index, aside from the subject index, an author index would have been useful. Otherwise, Evaluation of Library Collections, Access and Electronic Resources: A Literature Guide and Annotated Bibliography is an essential reading for all whose job responsibilities include collection management (and/or collection development). Library and information science faculty, researchers and students will also find this volume a valuable read.
