RETROSPECTIVE COLLECTIONS

Worldwide Books' unparalleled inventory includes more than 30,000 backlist titles published since the 1960s, among them thousands of hard-to-find and now out-of-print exhibition catalogues. This unique resource allows us to readily assist libraries interested in compiling retrospective collections or needing to fill gaps in their holdings.

Because each of the exhibition catalogues we have selected over the years for inclusion in our approval plan program has been carefully ranked according to its relative importance, and painstakingly catalogued and indexed based on subject matter and other criteria, librarians interested in compiling retrospective collections can make use of the various search features on the Advanced Search screen to create bibliographies for retrospective purchasing. Worldwide’s experienced staff is also happy to assist clients in filtering and prioritizing titles for retrospective purchasing based on a client’s particular collection priorities and budget.
