• Interdisciplinary items, where multiple locations share responsibility for collection
development in the subject. Liaison librarians in these areas will consult with one
another, to avoid duplication of low-use items.
• Performance material, such as music scores, when required for performance purposes
• Items for which the existing format is no longer useable, such as VHS items being
replaced by DVD or streaming video
• Items necessary for operational use which require regular and on-going consultation by
library staff
