Collection Development in St. Louis Area Libraries; A Survey.
Preston, Jenny
The St. Louis Public Library conducted a survey of 3 public, 12 academic, and 16 special libraries in the St. Louis area to identify existing subject depths in various collections as well as subject areas in which libraries intend to build in the next five years. The survey data are presented in 13 tables, and the results are summarized. Plans for the St. Louis Public Library collection are examined, and suggestions for multilateral action among all or a combination of libraries in the St. Louis metropolitan area are explored. (NR)
