The Academic Librarian and the Hegemony of the Canon.
Doherty, John J.
Journal of Academic Librarianship, v24 n5 p403-06 Sep 1998
Discusses academic library collection-development theory and policy. Suggests that a standard collection of works specific to each discipline (a canon), is a powerful tool because such canons can censor the works that fall outside of the prevailing norms, the hegemony of the discipline. (LRW)
