The Handbook of Collection Management in Public Libraries offers a comprehensive view of the subject. It illuminates current challenges in the book and media market, the rapid development of the internet, and the increasing competition between new providers of information and media, as well as current socio-political challenges which impose new demands on collection managements; for example demographic change, changing values in society and the growing competition for funding between public institutions.

Cet ouvrage présente une alternative au modèle gestionnaire des bibliothèques qui domine l'action des bibliothécaires depuis l'expansion de la lecture publique. Le modèle de la médiathèque publique française est en effet en crise. Alors que les bibliothèques se sont considérablement développées sur l'ensemble du territoire, elles ne parviennent pas à drainer plus de 20 % de la population. Le développement de la documentation électronique et l'accès à distance aux collections risquent de renforcer cette désaffection. Néanmoins ce déclin relatif est surtout lié au processus de rationalisation des activités humaines qui aboutit à un désenchantement du monde et à une perte de la valeur symbolique de la culture humaniste. En inscrivant la valorisation de l'imaginaire au cœur de ses préoccupations, le bibliothécaire pourrait renouer avec la dimension symbolique de la littérature et rendre la médiathèque plus attractive. Cette démarche suppose au préalable de requalifier sociologiquement les publics à l'inverse d'une gestion managériale des bibliothèques et d'une culture du résultat qui sombre dans un symbolisme abstrait et inopérant. Le recentrage des bibliothèques sur l'imaginaire et la fiction semble l'une des voies possibles pour restaurer l'image de la bibliothèque au sein de la Cité.À partir d'exemples précis, puisés dans la littérature romanesque, l'auteur met au jour les processus d'identification des lecteurs aux « personnages de papier » qui évoluent au sein de constellations mythologiques (l'Âge d'or, l'Apocalypse, le Sauveur, l'Androgyne). Il souligne la forte charge symbolique des romans de grande diffusion qui obéissent à un code narratif spécifique. L'auteur propose ainsi, à partir de grilles d'analyses concrètes, une nouvelle manière de lire la production romanesque en la reliant aux profils sociologiques des lecteurs.

Les bibliothèques, malgré leur développement, n'attirent plus le public. Leur modèle gestionnaire, lié à un processus de rationalisation des activités humaines, entraîne une perte de la valeur symbolique de la culture humaniste. Une solution pour restaurer l'image de la bibliothèque serait de revaloriser l'imaginaire et de relier la production romanesque aux mobiles sociologiques des lecteurs.

Meeting the Needs of Student Users in Academic Libraries surveys and evaluates the current practice of learning commons and research services within the academic library community in order to determine if these learning spaces are functioning as intended. To evaluate their findings, the authors examine the measurement tools that libraries have used to evaluate usage and satisfaction, including contemporary anthropological studies that provide a more detailed view of the student's approach to research. The book takes a candid look at these redesigns and asks if improvements have lived up to exp
