Dear Colleagues,
I am hoping that you will consider sharing your formal or informal policy on acquiring self-published books. By self-published I mean subsidy/vanity press books, books that were self published through print on demand services, and books for which that the author has assumed all production tasks.
If you have added any self-published books to your collection, would you please indicate the total number of books that you have added in the number of years? For example, “I have added one self-published book in the 4 years that I have had collection development responsibilities.”
Any thoughts are appreciated. You may reply directly to me at tomaiuolon_at_ccsu.edu , or to the list if you think this is of general interest. Thank you for your assistance.
