NIMITZ LIBRARYBOOK COLLECTION WITHDRAWALS June 26, 2000 MEMORANDUM FROM: Chair, Library SubcommitteeLibrarian TO: All Faculty SUBJ: Book Collection Withdrawals As they use the Library, faculty will likely be encountering slips in books asking for opinions about whether a particular volume should be retained. As part of their ongoing efforts to keep the Library's collections current and relevant for teaching and scholarship, the reference-bibliographers will continue to be engaged in evaluating volumes and identifying candidates for possible withdrawal. In the process, they will be seeking faculty feedback about the book and journal volumes they identify. Withdrawals from the collection occur within the framework of established policies and procedures; our Library Subcommittee is currently reviewing copies of the recently revised procedures. The reference-bibliographers have begun a review of the general book collection, as they recently did with identifying bound periodicals no longer needed. They are developing a systematic plan with specific call number areas targeted at various times. Please direct any questions to the reference-bibliographer who works with your department. Thank you for your interest and assistance.
