"The essays in this volume address area studies collections and collection development from the vantage point of several specific world areas, most of them associated with longstanding academic specializations. This introduction instead focuses on three topics that apply across the board. We first consider the audiences to which this book is directed, library and academic administrators who carry programmatic responsibilities for area studies programs, library science educators, and librarian practitioners. The focus then shifts towards the broad requisites for a successful program of area studies collection development and user support. Finally, we briefly depict the growing role of cooperative programs and action.". First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
