Collection Development In Canadian Studies: A Practical Model, Therrin C. Dahlin
Faculty Publications
It is often a difficult task to develop a Canadian studies library collection. As with any area studies collection, where the focus is on a geographic region rather than a particular discipline, a broad range of subjects typically must be covered. To add to the difficulty, Canadian materials are published in both English and French.
