Deselection
Read the Collection Maintenance Guidelines to understand the deselection process.
Contact apcs@utk.edu to discuss deselection projects.
Assessment Programs & Collection Strategy along with Collection Logistics provide support to:
- Develop parameters/criteria to identify potential titles to withdraw.
- Create reports based on those parameters.
- Pull and check each title to determine factors such as:
- quality between copies when withdrawing duplicates
- possible errors in the data from alma
- significant changes in editions
- More! (Just ask us!)
