I had - Developing Library and Information Center Collections, Libraries
Unlimited, 2005 ed. assigned in my UNT CI SLIS 5400 Collection
Development class and found it to be quite thorough in its coverage of
Collection Development topics, issues and processes.
Respectfully,
Jeffrey Lynch

I actually assign both to my collection management students at Pratt SILS. Evans is more inclusive but Johnson is a fine source for current best practice. (I suspect that my students sell their Evans at semester's end but retain their Johnson.)

I've used the Johnson book twice in a collection development course
taught at the University of Kentucky library school. I like it. The case
studies at the end of each chapter are especially useful. I am not
familiar with the Evans book. Contact me if you have questions. Thanks,

Considering how much collection mgt has changed in the past 5 years, I would think the new edition of Peggy Johnson's book would be preferable.
