Hi, I am in library school and am doing a web project on
collection development sites on the Internet. I'm wondering
if anyone
has any suggestions for good sites. I was able to locate
one or two
general "training" sites and have studied the sites at
LibraryLand
and others but would love to hear about your favorites.
Thank you very
much.
