The circle of life applies to libraries too! Developing and managing collections is a continuous process, and knowing how materials flow through this cycle can help libraries keep their collections manageable and attractive for patrons. Moving from policy through weeding, participants will learn about selection, evaluation, and deselection while offering tips, tools, and trends to ensure a full life for your library’s collection.
After this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the collection life cycle
- Compare tools and methods for materials selection
- Implement best practices for weeding the collection
This session will be recorded and made available to all who register.
