Hello Collective Wisdom.
Our arts library may be embarking on a major weeding project, due to
lack of space, and no off-site storage facility plans in sight,
according to our library director. I'm looking for any guidelines,
specific to an art library , that may inform our overall weeding
effort that is taking place in our college library. I'd like to have
your opinion as to what makes art materials different than other
materials in the humanities and social sciences when it comes to
formulating weeding criteria. If you have any thoughts, or if you
have some established weeding guidelines for your art library, please
send. To what degree have digitized book projects actually effected
your weeding practices...is it practical to assess title by title?
What stable digitized e book projects can be recommended for an art
library weeding project? Thanks in advance.
