Abstract
In the third edition of Making a Collection Count, Holly Hibner and Mary Kelly continue to provide valuable information for the new professional. There are nine chapters. Some chapters differ little from the previous edition, while other chapters have been significantly updated and a new chapter has been added. The chapters are “Collection Statements and Policies,” “Life Cycle of a Collection,” “Collection Metrics,” “Physical Inventory,” “Statistics,” “Weeding,” “Collection Organization,” “Collection Budgets,” and “Everything is Connected.” Each chapter has an updated bibliography at the end. Two collection management policies are included as appendices: one for a public library and one for an academic library.
