Digital collections continue to grow, and libraries seek feedback from users and use tools to diagnose and solve accessibility issues.

The editors and many of the contributors share a common characteristic of having taught preservation management courses to postgraduates and consequently have aimed to provide a text that would meet the requirements of such courses. The book is divided into four parts. The first covers the fundamentals: the preservation landscape, principles, policy assessment and planning. The chapter on preservation principles is particularly interesting and useful. it provides a very clear statement of the context and aims of preservation and lists a number of general and specific principles. These principles apply to digital and analogue objects and underpin all the other chapters. The next part of the book considers preservation from a collection-level perspective and is followed by a single chapter on creating preservation-friendly objects. The fourth and final part of the book is the largest component. up to this point, all chapters have been written by harvey and Mahard, but a wealth of experts now provide very specialised advice on preservation issues relating to different materials and media, ranging from paper objects and books to textiles and paintings. The coverage of such diverse media does indeed make this a comprehensive, one-stop reference resource. The concluding bibliography and list of standards provide the necessary pointers to further information, if needed. in summary, this is a very rich and detailed handbook, which fulfils its aim admirably. it is refreshing to see a preservation management text with a genuinely inclusive scope, setting out clear principles that are applicable to both digital and analogue collections.}, journal={Serials Review}, year={2017} } @article{ashmore_demars_tusa_2017, title={The Read Feed—Reviews}, volume={43}, url={https://publons.com/wos-op/publon/30373081/}, DOI={10.1080/00987913.2017.1282287}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT Beth Ashmore reviews More Library Mashups: Exploring New Ways to Deliver Library Data; Michelle DeMars reviews Library Consortia: Models for Collaboration and Sustainability; Sarah Tusa reviews Library Management in Disruptive Times: Skills and Knowledge for an Uncertain Future.}, number={1}, journal={Serials Review}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Ashmore, Beth and DeMars, Michelle and Tusa, Sarah}, year={2017}, month={Feb}, pages={104–109} } @article{ashmore_morris_cantwell_2016, title={From scraps to reams to mobile screens?

Recently, the past has reared its ugly head in the guise of the recent bankruptcy of Swets Information Services B.V. in September 2014. You would pretty much have to live under a rock to miss the commotion across the listservs, emails, and news publications related to this recent serials crisis. Many of us have paused in our day-to-day operations to ponder what this might mean for the future of serials. Although this editorial focuses specifically on the Swets event, the special issue as a whole explores other areas challenging the serials landscape from innovations in the publishing world to evolved concepts of description through linked data or knowledgebase data to questions about acquisitions practices for journal packages. All of the articles included in this issue indicate that a time of reflection is upon us as a discipline. With these challenges, opportunities to innovate and repurpose our skills will come—if we are willing.
