The boom in self-publishing has created a market of hundreds of
thousands of new books a year. The Library of Congress doesn’t
catalog most of these. Is it fair to dismiss these books as “vanity publications,”
or are there some valuable resources in this book glut for
collections-development librarians to explore? Are there sensible
ways of acquiring these books? And how do Web searches affect types
of content we haven’t always seen as having value?
