CORE COLLECTIONS
Created by Librarians, for Librarians
For 100 years, H.W. Wilson’s Core Collections have been a librarian’s  
must-have collection development and reader’s advisory guide to the best  
fiction and nonfiction works for public libraries, high schools, middle schools, 
and elementary schools.
Every entry has been carefully selected by experienced librarians from public 
library systems, school libraries, and academic libraries across the United States. 
These specialists represent diverse backgrounds in librarianship and possess 
a wealth of experience on national juries and American Library Association 
committees. There is nothing quite like H.W. Wilson’s Core Collections.  
The accumulated expertise of our selectors and the unquestioned reputation  
of this series make these collections invaluable. 
Collection Development, Readers’ Advisory, 
& Curriculum Support
Not only do the Core Collections serve as aids in the selection and ordering of 
titles, but also in curriculum support, collection maintenance, and professional 
development. H.W. Wilson’s Core Collections are essential resources for library 
and media specialists looking to enhance and enrich their collection with the most 
important and highly recommended titles currently available.
In-Depth Indexing
Each volume contains indexing by author to make locating titles by author or
pseudonym quick and easy, along with highly detailed title, series, and subject 
indexing that allows users to select titles by subject area or locate works by title.
Strong Support for Any Challenged Purchase
Wilson’s Core Collections are universally recognized as impartial and expert 
aids to collection development that assist and reinforce the judgment of librarians 
everywhere. Inclusion in a Core Collection is strong support for any challenged 
purchase.
