Whether you are new or already working for a long time in a theological library, small or big, I hope you will find in these articles a wealth of good advice, examples, and new ideas on how to preserve your physical collections.” Many thanks to all colleagues who contributed to the production of this volume, especially the editor Douglas L. Gragg. Thanks to all who submitted their proposals for the fifth volume of the handbook on the topic of library management. This volume is scheduled for publication in the Summer of 2025.

Stay tuned for the upcoming Call for Proposal for the sixth volume on library services.

Please share the news about the publication of this volume in your local associations and networks, especially with colleagues you know are in need of continuing education in our field. This whole series is aimed to support them and offer them perspectives, advice, and best practices to build their collections and grow in their careers.

Best wishes
