Edited by the University of Minnesota’s Brian Vetruba and Heidi Madden from Duke University with contributions from experts at more than 20 other institutions, this new open-access book includes up-to-date lists of core materials and country-specific vendors, as well as strategies and materials for diversifying collections to support research. Authoritative guidance on finding and interpreting information from specialized sources — such as European statistical agencies, legal bodies, and archives — is also included.
This book will be a useful companion for academic librarians and library and information staff (LIS) professionals who work on collection development projects, or answer reference questions from scholars researching topics about European history, politics, languages as well as area studies.
Issued with a CC-BY-NC license, the Handbook may also serve as a useful starting point for LIS instructors who need course materials for classes on academic librarianship, collection development, or area studies librarianship.
The full work is available online via the University of Minnesota Libraries Publishing.
