Collection Management Committee - Webinar #3: Re-evaluating Library Materials

Relocation of Special Collections and Reference Collections

How three libraries review these materials and the logistics involved in relocation

The presentations will include weeding a library’s special collection and the need for reappraisal and de-accessioning; using technology and project management tools to relocate/redistribute 13 separate reference collections into 8 collections; and downsizing of a 53,000 volume reference collection to a 7,000 volume collection and relocating the materials to various locations.

This webinar will be recorded and posted on the CARLI website.
