Kennedy text

For ETL 503, I am currently reading through the Kennedy text, "Collection Management: A concise Introduction". It is an informative and interesting book, however, I am finding many references to books and articles published in the '90's. Although I am sure that these have lots of pertinent information to collection management, I am sure that there are more recent resources that could be referenced.

As an example, I have just come across a reference to a magazine called Australia Bookseller and Publisher which gives up-to-date information on what is happening in the book world. By doing an internet search I came across the online version of this at http://www.booksellerandpublisher.com.au/
Not only does it list the Bestselling books for the week but also has interesting articles from around the world including one on why Japanese people are unlikely to ever read an e-book.
