The rapidly increasing reliance on digital rather than print-based resources has not diminished the importance of library collection management, but it has required significant modification in the thinking and the practice of collection managers, who today usually have to consider their clients' need for both print-based and digital materials. This updated edition aims to provide a concise overview of the major elements of contemporary collection management of print and digital resources - including policy formulation, selection, acquisition, evaluation, preservation, deselection, and cooperative collecting - in a way which aims to be of interest to the student and to any other reader seeking an understanding of a particularly dynamic area of librarianship. Much that has been previously published on collection management focuses on academic libraries, particularly those in North America. This book places greater emphasis on the experiences of smaller public and special libraries, and attempts to view its subject from the perspective of libraries in Australia and other countries geographically remote from North America and Western Europe. Dr John Kennedy has taught collection management at Charles Sturt University for over a decade and has produced several previous publications on the subject.

I was born in 1939 and spent my formative years in a small mining/fishing village called Skinningrove on the Cleveland Coast north of Whitby. "Yesterday's Child" chronicles this period. At the age of fifteen, I joined the Royal Navy as a boy seaman, "Metamorphosis" refers to this period. On leaving the Royal Navy I eventually joined the Prison Service "Poacher to Keeper" completes the trilogy.

On retiring to Whitby North Yorkshire buying a boat and enjoying the freedom of the sea fishing, I began to write children's books for my Grandchildren and now my Great-Grandchildren These are in the" Cassie and James" series set in Whitby. Since then I have ventured into adult fiction with "Migration of Souls" and "Death by Prejudice" of which I am proud of. Hopefully there are more to come
