Collection development in electronic environments: way forward for libraries

Abstract

The paper examines the environment and ways in which information centers and libraries in Tanzania and other developing countries may be affected by undertaking collection development within the changing e-publishing dimension. Currently, the philosophy of collection development itself is changing to accommodate these changes. As such, new methods and procedures of effecting collection development are required.
