Description

As outsourcing becomes more commonplace in libraries, the need for a authoritative guide becomes indisputable.

This book, designed to give librarians a broad understanding of outsourcing issues in academic libraries, synthesizes prevailing theories on the topic and describes current outsourcing practices in all areas of librarianship.

After a historical overview and a detailed analysis of the pros and cons of outsourcing, the authors outline the steps for planning and implementing a successful outsourcing program.

Individual chapters cover collection development, acquisitions and serials management, cataloging, retrospective conversion, authority control, preservation, and public services and systems.

A special feature of the book is a detailed survey of more than 200 academic research libraries and other academic libraries about outsourcing practices.
