Bok av Beth R Bernhardt
Over 100 presentations from the thirty-fourth Charleston Library Conference (November 2014) are included in this proceedings volume. Major themes of the meeting included patron-driven acquisitions versus librarian-driven acquisitions; marketing library resources to faculty and students to increase use; measuring and demonstrating the library's role and impact in the retention of students and faculty; the desirability of textbook purchasing by the library; and the importance of self-publishing and open access publishing.
