Becky Albitz, MLS, EdD, is director of the James A. Cannavino Library at Marist College, Poughkeepsie, NY. Christine Avery is visiting collection development program officer for the Association of Research Libraries.Diane Zabel is the Louis and Virginia Benzak Business Librarian at Pennsylvania State University and editor of Libraries Unlimited's Reference Reborn: Breathing New Life into Public Services Librarianship.

This title is a perfect fit for both public and academic librarians. The word 'rethinking' is apt; this guide truly examines current changes in library collections. New librarians will want to dive into the volume . . . Experienced librarians might skip around, using the book as a reference for pertinent topics, such as ebooks and digital collections. . . . It is a solid companion to any of the American Library Association fundamentals of collection development books. The textbook-style reading is ideal for academic librarians, public librarians, or MLS students.
