Kovacs, Diane K. The Kovacs Guide to Electronic Library Collection Development: Essential Core Subject Collections, Selection Criteria, and Guidelines, Second Edition New York: Neal-Schuman, 2009. 025.284 KOVAC 2nd ed. ISBN 978-1555706647
First published in 2004, this second edition provides updated and enhanced information on “how to build, expand, improve, and maintain an e-library collection.” Chapters cover general collection guidelines and licensing basics; especially useful are individual sections citing specific Web sites for e-collection sources in ready reference, business, medicine, biology, engineering, physical and earth sciences, and the social sciences and humanities. Kovacs, who co-compiled a few editions of the invaluable print Directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletters, and Academic Discussion Lists, among other works, is a very diligent researcher, and her latest title again offers librarians much useful information.
