Kudzu-Ops Mailing List: ASERL webinar: "Beyond Our Stacks #3: Rightsizing a Library Collection"

[John Burger (jburger]

ASERL Friends:

I am pleased to announce another session in our "Beyond Our Stacks" webinar 
series, scheduled for October 22.  For this session, we will be joined by 
Suzanne Ward, Collection Strategist at Purdue University Libraries.

OVERVIEW
Many academic libraries are bursting at the seams with large quantities of 
books, journal volumes, microforms, and other materials that have now either 
been duplicated electronically or have outlived their usefulness. What is the 
best way to reduce the physical collection while still maintaining the 
collection’s integrity? Suzanne Ward, Collection Strategist at Purdue 
University Libraries, will lead this webinar in which she introduces the 
concept of rightsizing the academic library collection. Learn why we as a 
profession find ourselves facing this dilemma and how we can work 
collaboratively to reduce the size of individual collections without damaging 
our ability to provide quick access to older material when our patrons need it.

session is available free to ASERL members, and will be recorded for later 
playback.  ASERL webinars are licensed under a Creative Commons
