NEW FOR 2011
February 2011 | 246x174 (7”x10”) | 152pp Hb: 978-0-415-61870-0 For over a decade, certain academic libraries have been purchasing, rather than borrowing, recently published books requested by their patrons. This system, Patron-Driven Acquisition (PDA), appeals to librarians who are concerned about the large percentage of books selected and purchased by libraries but never checked out by their patrons. This new Routledge title: • assesses in detail the relative success of PDA for printed books • presents results from recent case studies at Purdue University, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Illinois, all in the USA • explores new programs that allow patrons to select eBooks or participate in other ways for building library collections • was published as a special issue of the journal Collection Management.

NEW FOR 2011
This book covers the implications for libraries of technological and economic challenges that have arisen during the recent global recession. These challenges include the positioning of usage statistics, the advent of open access scholarship, database management, responding to budgetary constrictions and general access to serials. This title was published as a special issue of The Serials Librarian. This reference work gives practitioners in the library sector and in higher education important insights into the strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities for serials collection management in recessionary times. Users will benefit from analysis by academic librarians, vendors, publishers, fundraisers, and higher education professionals.

This book looks at information in several different academic disciplines - cybernetics, ICT, communications theory, semiotics, information systems, library science, linguistics, quantum physics and public policy.

A G uide t o O u tso u r ci n g R e c o r ds M a n a g e m e n t Edited by Jane Proffitt September 2010 | 198x129 (5”x8”) | 96pp Pb: 978-1-85743-491-0 eBook: 978-0-203-84055-9 This new Routledge title provides an essential overview of the outsourcing process. Its content comes from detailed and wide-ranging research on the subject, and has been contextualised to cater for the records management environment. Outsourcing is not necessarily the way ahead for every organization or business, and the price of failure is high. This title will enable you to: • assess whether outsourcing is a feasible, cost-effective and beneficial process for your business • learn from a series of pertinent real-life case studies • access a unique body of information providing an overview of concepts specific to a records management facility.
