Western Libraries to hold Fall 2014 review of withdrawn materials

As part of its regular review process of library materials, Western Washington University Libraries will be holding a faculty review of materials that have been withdrawn from the library collection over the Summer and Fall quarters.

Some of these resources are being withdrawn because they are duplicated in the library’s collections or have been replaced by a newer format/edition.  Other items are being withdrawn because library faculty consider them no longer needed for the collections.  The latter category contains many items this quarter, due to a thorough review of the Curriculum collection over the summer.  All faculty members are welcome to review the withdrawn resources from Nov. 17-21 by appointment only.

In accordance with state law, withdrawn resources may be transferred to university departments, but cannot be given to individuals. To arrange an appointment to review the material, contact Lesley Lowery either by phone at extension 4081 or via e-mail at lesley.lowery@wwu.edu.
