Collection Development, Readers’ Advisory & Curriculum Support
Not only do the Core Collections serve as aids in the selection and ordering of titles, but also in curriculum support, collection maintenance, and professional development. They are essential resources for library and media specialists looking to enhance and enrich their collection with the most important and highly recommended titles currently available.
In-Depth Indexing
Each volume contains indexing by author to make locating titles by author or pseudonym quick and easy, along with highly detailed title & subject indexing that allows users to select titles by subject area or locate works by title.
Unique Value
There is nothing quite like H.W. Wilson’s Core Collections. The accumulated expertise of our selectors and the unquestioned reputation make these collections invaluable. They are universally recognized as impartial and expert aids to collection development that assist and reinforce the judgment of librarians everywhere. Inclusion in a Core Collection is strong support for any challenged purchase.
Thousands of Recommended Titles for Your Specific Collection
Each volume highlights thousands of essential and highly recommended books for each type of collection. Whether you’re collecting for a public library, a high school, a middle school, or an elementary school, Core Collections gives you immediate access to the best titles you and your patrons won’t want to miss—easy-to-locate starred entries throughout the text and in the index highlight essential works in a given category or subject area. The careful selection in each Core Collection makes it easy to locate the best-of-the-best titles to consider adding to your collection, or to find titles that can be weeded out.
