Opening Day Collection
Suntown Public Library
Subject Area: Home Interior Décor and Design
Introduction
Community description
This report is focused around a non-actual public library (We’ll call it Suntown
Library). Suntown Library is one branch of fifteen in a medium-sized library system.
The community encompasses households of many age groups and incomes, including
people who’ve lived in the neighborhood for decades, young families, and singles who
find satisfactory job and social opportunities in the area. While the demographic
includes a small mix of nationalities, no enclaves from other countries have established
themselves. Research has determined that 68% of the residents own their homes, with
some residents in the same home for years, and others new to the responsibility. While
many choose newly-built homes, the community has a thriving older-home market as
well.
Recently, the library staff has noticed an increase in requests for materials related
to home improvement, particularly updating the appearance of the interior, guidance in
selecting style and color, how to do specific techniques, and creative ideas for specific
rooms. An analysis of the library’s current collection for this subject area revealed that
many of the materials are over twenty years old, and many current topics and trends are
not represented at all. Accordingly, the Suntown Library Board of Trustees approved a
revision of this section, with a budget of $1000.00.
The following materials are recommended as initial additions to this collection.
They will provide a foundation upon which to build, and provide both basic and
intermediate guidance, and reference to the user community. These materials have also
been chosen because of their “readability”, to provide a pleasant user experience while
supplying information, ideas, and procedures.
Collection Objectives
Description
The new collection will provide library patrons with information on improving
the look, function, and organization of their home interiors. It will assist them in
choosing color, style, and furniture/décor. It will include economical choices and
options, with guidance on upgrading the look of their homes.
Intended Scope:
The new collection will consist of adult non-fiction materials.
Selection Criteria:
The following criteria will be used in selecting materials for this collection:
Page 3
Relevance and subject matter:
The materials chosen will be relevant to the subject area by the description above,
and include ideas implementable by this patron community, both in terms of budget
and skill level. This initial collection will not extend to materials about major
remodeling or improving the home’s exterior. As part of updating the collection, the
Head Librarian will evaluate current materials for retention and weeding.
Publication Date:
A range of materials will be selected, with an emphasis on recent (less than ten
years) publications. Where suggested materials are more than ten years old, particular
analysis will be paid to current relevance. While some aspects of this subject area, such
as techniques and history, have extended time value, others such as décor trends should
be more current.
Balance of topics covered, relative to other materials selected
Attention will be paid to achieve a balance of topics and materials: acquiring
enough materials in each area to provide a foundation, while providing a range of
techniques, styles, and references.
Formats
The collection will include a range of formats, including books, serials
(magazines) and DVD videos. In addition to standard editions, large-format print
editions will be included if available.
While no electronic-format books are recommended during this initial collection
creation, the community will be surveyed to determine which formats would be the most
in demand: Kindle, eBooks, Nook, etc. Such materials may be acquired during the next
phase of this collection upgrade. However, given the highly visual nature of this subject
area and the reduced size and quality of any electronic viewing screen, particular
attention should be paid to whether each specific title would be satisfactory.
Because the VHS media format is no longer supported, no VHS tapes will be
included. Due to the nature of the subject area, no audio or cartographic materials will
be included.
Usage Expectations
Books, serials over one year old, and multimedia will be circulating copies.
Serials less than one year old will be restricted to in-library use. Based on interest
expressed by patrons, this collection should circulate frequently.
Statement Regarding Gifts
While the library is always willing to accept cash or in-kind gifts, any such
contributions are to be evaluated according to the overall Collection Development
Policy, and the criteria stated above. The Library will have authority to use any donated
materials in any way it deems appropriate, and is not obligate to add them to the
collection.
Statement Regarding Challenges
While few challenges to this particular collection are expected, librarians
receiving any such comments should be guided by the Administrative Policies Manual.
The patron must complete a Re-Evaluation Request Form, and be given a copy of the
Page 4
Re-Evaluation Request Procedures handout. The Head Librarian and the Board will
handle the complaint according to standard procedures.
Evaluation Measurements
When the new collection is accessible, library staff will be alerted to monitor
patron response and feedback. After the new collection has been in use for five months,
circulation records will be analyzed, as the first criteria for evaluating usage. The library
staff will also be surveyed for any informal feedback received. The Trustees recommend
a community survey six to eight months after the collection is re-opened, to determine
community awareness of the collection, and usage among those who are aware. Based
on this survey, future acquisitions to this collection may be modified, based on refined
new user needs.
Selection Tool / Resource List
Because this collection will consist of non-academic adult materials, selection
tools for trade and popular publications are the most useful. The selection tools listed
below are accessible without subscription or registration. These were used because their
databases include the lifestyle books and materials common to this subject area.
1. Magazines.com
http://www.magazines.com/ This website sells retail subscriptions to a wide
range of over 2000 serials (magazines, journals, and newspapers), as well as books and
gifts. Users can search for a specific title, or browse a category and format. The
selection is in-depth and includes specialized and high-end titles as well as popular
materials. Since many bricks-and-mortar suppliers carry only the most popular titles,
this site provides access to others which could be popular in a library setting, either
because they are more expensive, or because they are harder to find in the single-copy
market. In addition, magazines.com could serve as a jobber or distributor, managing
many of this library’s subscriptions as a single source.
2. Taunton Press
http://www.taunton.com/ This publisher is very highly respected in the
community of home improvement and hobbies. Their current catalog includes 25 books
in Interior Design and Decorating, and 79 Home Improvement books (there is some
overlap of the two categories). They currently offer 20 titles as eBooks.
The Taunton Press focuses on hands-on projects, both inside and outside the
home. In addition to their many books, they have four high-end quarterly magazines:
Fine Woodworking, Fine Home-building, Fine Cooking, and Fine Gardening, all at the
apex of their genres. Their books similarly reflect projects their readers will do
themselves, with great pride.
3. House Beautiful Books Archive
http://www.housebeautiful.com/archive/shopping/books/ . This book list
includes a wide range of books about home style, color, and related topics, from a
variety of publishers.

4. Our Favorite Design Books
http://www.housebeautiful.com/shopping/books/our-favorite-design-books
(slideshow). This slideshow included books from a variety of publishers, all highly
recommended. The choices were particularly relevant, and also useful in providing
references to other publishers.
5. HGTV Books
http://marketplace.hgtv.com/HGTV_Merchandise/Books This website for the
cable tv channel enables users to order books written by current and previous show
hosts, through retail booksellers. It’s likely that the materials available would change as
the network programming changes.
6. Amazon.com
Amazon, as a retail bookseller, offers one of the largest books and media catalogs
available. In addition to professional reviews, it also accepts consumer-submitted
reviews, so can provide excellent analyses of most of its materials. It also offers
complete metadata, to simplify ordering.
7. Booksamillion.com
8. Architectural Digest:
Reviewed but not used. This selection tool is styled toward a higher-income
demographic.

Publisher List
This Publisher List provides an excellent range of subject-relevant materials.
Several specific imprints for major publishers are included, whose foci are the lifestyle
books of high printing quality and content which are popular in this subject area.
Generally these imprints specialize in lifestyle books -- for this subject area as well as
other related subject areas.
Random House
1745 Broadway
New York, NY 10019
(212) 782-9000
Crown Trade Group (division of Random House)
Four imprints of the Crown Trade Group are included here, producing materials
within this subject area:
Clarkson Potter is, according to their website (Random House, 1995-2010),
“the leading publisher of cookbooks, lifestyle books, and gift books. We cover topics
from decorating and design to fashion, style, and gardening. Our authors include Ina
Garten, Martha Stewart, Giada DeLaurentiis, Bobby Flay, Rachael Ray, Colin Cowie, and
Page 6
Celerie Kemble, among others, whose books are published to be classics.” They
currently list 66 titles in their House and Home category (which does include books by
other Crown Publishing Group imprints). Several books by Clarkson Potter met the
criteria for this collection, and are expected to be popular.
Three Rivers Press is, according to their website (Random House, 1995-2010),
“the paperback imprint of the Crown Publishing Group. It publishes original titles as
well as paperback reprints. Three Rivers Press is named for the Harlem, East and
Hudson rivers that border Manhattan, as well as the three Crown hardcover imprints
that initially gave rise to Three Rivers' list.” Some books by Three Rives Press were in
the preliminary list, but were not ultimately selected. They may be added later.
Watson-Guptill is, according to their website (Random House, 1995-2010),
“the preeminent publisher of how-to books in the arts: art technique, fine art, design,
comics, cartooning, animation, crafts, film, and fashion. Its … beautifully designed and
lavishly illustrated books, authored by experts in their respective fields, are as
inspirational and aspirational as they are instructive. Award-winning authors and
consumers alike are attracted to Watson-Guptill, known for producing books with some
of the highest editorial, design, and production values in the industry.” The selected
books by Watson-Guptill are expected to in high demand, because of their nature as
foundation references.
Monacelli Press is, according to their website (Random House, 1995-2010), “a
leading publisher of books on architecture, the fine arts, interior design, landscape
architecture, photography, and graphic design.” . . .” The Monacelli Press has published
more than 250 books since it was established in 1994.” They are designer-focused; and
produce very attractive books. Like Three Rivers Press, books by Monacelli Press were
in the preliminary list, but not ultimately selected. They may be added later.
Gibbs Smith Publishing
PO Box 667
Layton, Utah 84041
800.748.5439 toll free
801.544.9800 phone
801.544.5582 fax
According to Publishers Weekly (2010), “Gibbs Smith Publishing, which
celebrated its 40th anniversary last year, is regarded as one of the most distinctive
lifestyle publishers in the U.S.” According to their Facebook page (2011), “Celebrating
its 40th anniversary in 2009, Gibbs Smith specializes in beautifully illustrated lifestyle
books covering topics such as interior design, architecture, cooking, children's, home,
green/sustainable and more.”
This publisher focuses on larger-scale books, with abundant full-color
photographs, written by well-respected experts in their fields. The subjects are current
and very focused: bungalow living, green houses, and different styles of home interior
design such as French Country, and Arts and Crafts are some examples. They cover
both interiors and exteriors, and building styles, and even address more exotic home
styles such as treehouses and yurts. They currently list 107 books in their Design and
Home Reference category.
Page 7
The books appear to be in-depth, designed for people already knowledgeable
about the topics, or seriously wanting to become more knowledgeable.
Octopus Publishing Group Limited
Endeavour House
189 Shaftesbury Avenue
London
WC2H 8JY
Tel.: +44 (0)20 7632 5400
Fax.: +44 (0)20 7632 5405
According to their website (2011), “Octopus is a leading publisher of illustrated
books. We are comprised of nine imprints, and as a group have extensive experience of
working with high profile authors, trusted partners and associations to produce exciting,
market leading books. Our imprints each have their own identity and all publish highly
successful titles of outstanding quality and content… “
Two imprints of Octopus Publishing were used for this collection:
Conran Octopus (Octopus, 2011) “was founded by Sir Terence Conran and Paul
Hamlyn to publish cutting-edge books of the very highest quality in both content and
design, and today the core philosophy remains unchanged.”
Godsfield Press (Octopus, 2011) “publishes inspirational and practical mind
body spirit titles covering areas such as spirituality and religion, personal growth,
alternative health and healing, divination and humour.”
Both Octopus imprints provided valuable additions to this collection. Their
British origin provides a different perspective than the American books, and thus be in
high demand.
Order List
The selection guidelines for this collection specified including some large-print
editions if possible. However, in the lifestyle books and related categories which apply
to this subject, no large-print editions were found.
Pursuant to patron requests, materials by “celebrity” interior designers were
considered. Some did not mesh well with the collection criteria, but others seemed to be
a good blend and have been included.
