Recenzii
”An effective training manual to be used as basis for understanding and mastering local practice ... I only wish such a resource had been available 40 years ago when I was learning to be a library liaison and as I subsequently assumed the role of training others."
— Technicalities
”Although other sources focus exclusively on either the role of a library liaison or collection development, Armstrong and Dinkle offer an overview of collection management tailored to library liaisons and imbued with everyday practical wisdom ... Notably, the case studies exemplify novel circumstances that only experience could teach and conclude with a bulleted list of key takeaways. "
— Technical Services Quarterly
”[This book] is a comprehensive overview of a liaison’s role in the life cycle of library collections ... Armstrong and Dinkle offer libraries an ideal model for engaging liaison librarians in management of the collection. However, they are realistic about local practices. Among the most valuable tools in this book is each chapter’s 'Local Practices Questionnaire.' These questionnaires are not only a useful framework for new liaisons, they may also help collection managers organize training materials or anticipate common questions."

Notă biografică
Alison M. Armstrong has been the collection management librarian at Radford University in Virginia since 2011. She has a BA in literature from the University of North Carolina at Asheville and an MLIS from the University of North Texas. She is an instructor of the “Fundamentals of Collection Development and Management” and the “Fundamentals of Collection Assessment” web courses.

She served on the Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library System’s Board of Trustees from 2012 to 2020. She has also served on multiple ALCTS committees.
Lisa Dinkle is an instruction librarian at Radford University. She was the collection assistant there from 2014 to 2016. She has degrees in history and library information science. Her dual role as a library liaison and instruction librarian gives her more opportunities to connect with her departments. These opportunities have allowed her to collaborate with faculty and students to showcase library resources and services. She is the founding member of an instruction librarians’ book club, which invites librarians to build their instructional skills through reading, discussion, and praxis, with occasional conversational detours into collection development and library liaison practices at other institutions.
