Astroff, Roberta

Library Trends, v48 n4 p769-82 Spr 2000

Collecting full-text CD-ROMs for a humanities library requires an examination of literary research and the way literature is taught. It is within this context that selectors must establish selection criteria and develop plans for promoting use of these new resources. Includes a checklist of literary and technical criteria for selection. (Contains 16 references.) (AEF)
