Collections Evaluation

Collections Evaluation

This page is to provide information about Ingram Library's ongoing collection evaluation project. This guide contains background information, links to other documents of interest, and report on the progress that we are making.

Overview:

To keep collections useful and relevant for students and faculty, librarians periodically determine if there are books we no longer need and if there are areas where we have gaps. This is part of a continual process to maintain the health of our collections.

We intend for this process to make our collections more relevant to users. Faculty in each department will be asked for their feedback before items are removed from collections relevant to their disciplines.

Please see the FAQ for more information about the project.
