Libraries can’t hold everything, but deciding what not to keep is every bit as complicated as developing the collection to begin with. In this webinar we will discuss four ventures into managing print collections, including notes from library-scale deselection and the logistics of large projects, to tackling smaller bites of the whole in focused collections and popular literature and media.
