Some emphasis is placed on literature for children, both actual works of literature and works about children s literature. Development Plan High school and community college students place a particular demand on this collection. This decision is appropriate because coverage of prominent writers is a routine expectation of many community library users. The collection emphasizes American and British literature in English. Both text and criticism sources are developed.
Anthologies play an important role in covering writers and regions of lesser interest.
Some development is required in rhetoric of drama, of fiction, of essays, of letters, and of satire and humor. Non-English languages, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and classical languages receive less focus. Major writers in other languages having international impact are not excluded unless specifically stated in each policy. Established bibliographies of important German, French, Italian, Spanish, classical Greek and Roman, and Russian writers are utilized to assess gaps in the collection, concentrating only on major authors of the past. A collection emphasizing rhetoric is maintained.
