Abstract
Public libraries contribute to a democratic civil society and an educated, informed, tolerant and engaged polity. There is, however, little extant research on how knowledge is represented in public libraries in Australia, and in particular about what types of assumptions about knowledge are prioritised in selecting and evaluating adult nonfiction monographs. This dissertation is a mixed methods study of public library adult nonfiction monograph collections and the professional lived experience of the librarians who select and evaluate them.
