Virtually no one has addressed critical long-term issues like core collections, material selection, and weeding after floating has taken place. Floating Collections: A Collection Development Model for Long-Term Success makes all of this urgently needed information available in one place.

In addition, the author addresses common collection concerns and outlines workable solutions for problematic issues that can arise.
