Book Review
Jul. 29th, 2016 10:12 pmLibrary Acquisition of Music
by R. Michael Fling
This is not a book one reads for fun; it is a book you read because you need to. And since my new job includes collection development and acquisition, I definitely needed to read it. Fling writes in a very plain and straightforward fashion, so while it does feel a bit dull at points, everything is clear, which makes it easy to absorb and retain the information. Fling certainly delivers on the information, too. While some of the information for specific vendors is surely out of date, Library Acquisition of Music is pretty invaluable if that is what you will be doing professionally.
