This volume contains the proceedings of the 32nd Annual Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials, held in 1987. The seminar brought together librarians, scholars, and professionals to discuss strategies for managing library collections during economic recessions, with a particular focus on Caribbean libraries. The papers cover topics such as resource sharing, preservation, and collection development, offering insights into the challenges faced by libraries in the region during times of financial constraint.
Edited by Mina Jane Grothey, this book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the history and development of Caribbean libraries, as well as the broader issues surrounding library management and acquisitions in the late 20th century. It provides a unique perspective on the intersection of economic conditions, cultural preservation, and access to information in the Caribbean context. For collectors interested in library science, Caribbean studies, or the history of academic publishing, this volume offers a rare glimpse into the professional discourse of the time.
