Self-publishing is a huge endeavor these days and libraries, especially academic libraries, are not well-positioned to collect self-published works without depending on trusted review sources.
If your academic library does collect self-published materials, how to you decide what to purchase? If you work at a Public Library, how does it work for you?
There are a number of review sources that cover self-published materials - do you use any of them and if so, which ones work best for you?
For example: Foreword Reviews, BlueInk Review, Kirkus Indies, Indie Reader, PW's BookLife ...
Thanks much,
