Subject: Policies on deaccessioning
I am conducting research on how libraries make the decision to withdraw materials. A am specifically interested in the decision process for brittle materials that have been microfilmed. If anyone has written policies they would be willing to share I would appreciate copies. They should cover the decision making process and also the withdrawal process. Who is involved, what criteria are used, process for withdrawal and disposal/sale of the withdrawn materials are all areas of interest. I have already searched CoOL and found only two policies (Columbia University and Univ. of Florida).
