N2  - "Collection development, ordinarily perceived as not a very demanding or exciting work, contain elements that bring great personal satisfaction to those whose careers are spent in the library. Little can excel the feeling that the libraries experience when the material needed by a particular user can be delivered to him immediately. It is the book and its many surrogates which are emblematic of stability in cultural transmission and it is the journal which represents, above all the symbol of power, status and achievements within the academic discipline. They are central to providing information, entertainment, analysis and education to millions worldwide. Collection development is essentially an effective audit aspects of library, closely linked with it users."--
