Materials in damaged or brittle condition are flagged at the circulation desk.
OCLC holdings
Only dups are deaccessioned.
Publisher/platform specific reviews after a back file purchase.
Science librarians at the various branches coordinate off-site storage decisions and deaccessioning of duplicate print.
Targeting duplicates
The library has now created Collection Retention Policy, which outlines strategic areas where deaccessioning will occur
very rarely. This is typically based on format within targeted subject areas.
University of California/JSTOR project
We deaccession on a very small scale and on a case-by-case basis, primarily when materials are damaged beyond repair
or entirely superseded by a new edition (relatively few items fall into the supersession category as we often keep older
editions for possible historical interest).
If your selection strategy included lists or was based on type of collection, please describe the list
criteria or identify the type of collection. N=32
A combination of factors: duplicate titles/editions in the system, JSTOR what to withdraw titles, perpetual access, low
circulation of monographs, age of publication, broken or insignificant runs of periodicals, superseded editions.
All deaccessioning of print is predicated on either deduplication of multiple print copies or local availability of digital
copies coupled with access to a secured print copy held at either CRL (for JSTOR titles) or the CIC SPR.
Availability of electronic format, including back files duplicates in collection outdated reference material limited partial
runs of periodicals
Circulation history, condition, subject area, location
Condition, usage statistics, age of publication, number of copies, language, subject
Currently we are mostly deaccessioning bound periodicals for which we own the digital back files in these cases we
begin with a publisher-based list of titles and volumes held. Our monograph deaccessioning projects are infrequent
and much more limited in scope. We generally begin a monograph deaccessioning project with a review list based on
specific location (collection or call number range), age of item, number of uses, and date of most recent use (e.g., last
checkout more than ten years ago).
Digitized journals by title or publisher, some indexes and abstracts
Duplicate materials, year of publication, condition, juvenile/K-12 instruction materials
Duplicates list
Duplication of print holdings, in building &system wide. Digital resources added to mix for branch closing project under
way.
For example, government documents and print journals available in fulltext online.
For journals: electronic back file lists. For books: lists generated by consultant.
