A library’s collecting priorities depends on some determining factors like the scope of collection, the resources available in terms of money, space and staff, and its use. At one extreme are some national libraries which are archives with the duty to retain every item for the indefinite future; at the other are the special and commercial libraries whose main role is to supply current information, not to store it. No doubt, this will prove a dependable reference book on the subject to academics and professionals alike.
