- Summary:
- The reference collection is often the heart of the library. For large well-funded libraries, the reference collection may comprise a whole room in the library building with computers to locate information offsite. For other libraries, it may include a small number of very select print and electronic sources. The true measure of the library's reference collection is not how many volumes it has, but how readily patrons are able to find the information they need.
- Notes:
- Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-216) and index.
