The book will serve as a "how to" guide for evaluating and crafting collection development policies that will help create equity in library collections. The book will not only help contextualize the need for inclusive collection development policies but will feature user-friendly tables, guides, and sample policies.

Industry Reviews

Andrea Jamison's book will be very useful, not only to children and young adults librarians, her primary audience, but to all collection development librarians who struggle with creating good, diverse policies, and sometimes with getting them approved. -- Mary Munroe, Formerly professor emeritus in the University Libraries, Northern Illinois University The strength of this work is the relatively simple but meaningful approach outlined in the author's process. For busy librarians, especially in public and school libraries, I believe this would be a welcome guide to evaluating, writing, and actualizing collection development policy. -- Keith Teeter, Associate Director for Research, Learning and User Services, University of Colorado Denver.
