Abstract
Magister Artium - MA - One of the main purposes of a library is to disseminate information to the community it serves.
Collection development, which is the process of building and maintaining a library's collection
is, thus an essential part of library services. The selection of materials that align with
community needs and interests is an especially important aspect of collection development.
With reference to the Helen Haines theory of book selection which is community-centred and
highlights the role of lifelong learning in book selection, this research investigated the book
selection practices of librarians from the City of Cape Town Library and Information Service |
