The selection connection - Creating an internal Web page for collection development

Collection development librarians often use Web resources as they select ma terials, but only a few libraries have built working Web pages for this pur pose. We suggest that a collection development Web page is a valuable asset to an academic library. A Web page designed for internal use can be used t o share information among selectors and can provide a single source for lin ks to Web tools used by collection development librarians. We discuss sourc es of Web-based bibliographers' tools and suggest useful types of informati on to include on collection development Web sites.
