I am assisting a small library in Northern California to purchase art books. As you might expect our budget is small. We are looking for items that would appeal to patrons in our small but affluent community. I wonder if someone would be willing to share the collection development tools they use that might also apply to our collection. Thank you. Barbara Janis, M.L.I.S. Librarian Presidio Trust P. O.
