Standardcatalogs.com is a free clearinghouse for tools for collection development: "Best" lists, Editors' picks, hot topics, periodicals lists, best professional books, librarian home pages and blogs, profiles of editors (and others) who shape the Wilson Standard Catalogs, and more.
The site will tap the expertise of librarians nationwide--those on the Wilson staff, special consultants, and librarians offering their input from the field. "Best" Lists will include Libraries' Best Lists, Readers' Best Lists, Committees' Best Lists, Newspapers' Best Lists, as well as contributions from individuals. An "Editors' Picks" feature will focus on notable titles from Wilson's Children's Catalog, Public Library Catalog, Fiction Catalog, Senior High School Library Catalog, and Middle & Junior High School Library Catalog. Recommended books on hot topics will also be highlighted, focusing on issues in the headlines, including topics suggested by Standardcatalogs.com users.
