Editor's Notes
- #12 There’s an opportunity because bookstores aren’t helping as much these days and Amazon has not picked up the slack
- #14 The next challenge is the explosion in the number of published books – the average library could buy 14,000 books annually in 1950 – and only 11,000 were published. In 2012, nearly a million books were published
- #23 Books aren’t as expensive as they used to be. Discovery may be a bigger issue than acquisition, so …
- #24 So why not be a showroom? Libraries can no longer archive books: it’s impossible. Do you care if your patrons buy instead of borrow?
- #26 The biggest opportunity for libraries comes at the intersection of collection development, reader’s advisory and visual merchandising
