Basic Library List. This page describes the MAA's list of Recommendations for Undergraduate Libraries. To see what books are in the list, go to the Browse page and select either "Have BLL" (for all recommended books) or a particular rating. About the Basic Library List The MAA's Basic Library List is a list of books recommended by the Association for purchase by college and university libraries.
Books that are part of the BLL have that fact indicated in search results and on their "book details" page. The Advanced Search engine allows you to restrict your search to books that are in the BLL, and that is the primary way to access the list. The original version of the BLL consisted of two small lists of books that the Association recommended for libraries in two-year and four-year colleges. Of course, in the 20 years since the creation of that list, many new books have appeared. Enter the internet. The current chair of the Basic Library List Committee is Tamara Lakins.
