in the collection must be made by the collections librarian in consultation with others.
Librarians do the following when withdrawing material from the collection:
1. Establish specific criteria for selection of material to be withdrawn (a librarian may
choose to consult with the appropriate Faculty Library Representative when
determining criteria). When material is to be withdrawn from several areas of the
collection, several librarians may work together to establish criteria.
2. Identify specific items as candidates for possible withdrawal and obtain a report
documenting those items.
3. Ensure that appropriate faculty members and other librarians have an opportunity
to review the material to identify items that should remain in the collection.
4. Consult with appropriate User Services and Cataloguing managers on matters
related to the work required to withdraw the final selections from the collection.
