Dear Colleagues,
I am wondering if anyone has insights into the status/usefulness of these
dealer catalogs (the firm is out of business, I believe). Each catalog has
a unique title, like Bridges, Docks and Harbours, and Architecture and
Antiquity, and they list books for sale. The categories are certainly
useful and the catalogs seem to provide good compilations of classics of
architectural literature, architecture books from a particular time period,
etc. The annotations provided are certainly useful and unique. Up to now,
they have been housed in Reference, but I'm inclined to transfer them to the
general collection (we are non-circulating). Any thoughts? Do libraries
that possess these find that patrons are consulting them for bibliographic
research, or are they more useful in terms of collection development?
Thanks in advance.
