Give Them What They Want: Shake Up Your Selection Policy with Multiple Copies of Popular Books
Chen, Kristine
School Library Journal, v56 n10 p29-32 Oct 2010
In this article, the author describes her new approach to collection development. To fulfill her dream of each kid walking out of the library with the book they asked for, she enlisted the help of her students. Once they realized that their suggestions were taken seriously, the more they were willing to take the time to tell her about the great books they'd read. The author also shares some strategies for keeping extra copies circulating and tips to keep costs down.
