Latin American Collection Concepts

As academic libraries move forward toward an increasingly digital environment, this work illuminates the field of Latin American collection development, and serves as a guide for university administrators, library directors and heads of collection development as well as those who work to create foreign-language collections for research libraries.

Though still hampered by some challenging obstacles, Latin American collection development is not the static, tradition-bound field many believe it to be. Latin American studies librarians have confronted these difficulties head-on and developed strategies to adapt to the field''s continuous digital advancements.

Presenting perspectives from several independent Latin American libraries, this collection of new essays covers the history of collecting, current strategies in collection development, collaborative collection development, buying trips, and future trends and new technologies.
