Who decides what to buy…
To follow up my previous post on our public library. Here is a piece from Cornell University on Who decides what to buy in a library.
In a University setting, the subject expertise worked with the corresponding faculty members and students to determine some of the purchases. But I doubt if our local public library systems have similar resources to work in the same way. Does anyone know?
And just who might it be the “subject expertise” of the “Wii games” section? Our kids?
Update: Here is the description of that process from Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh.
