checklist for priority titles? Heather Shore 08 Jan 2013 17:18 UTC

Hello,

We are working towards doing an evaluation of our current journal subscriptions, to ensure that they are indeed required/useful for our academic departments.
I am trying to create a "checklist" of categories in order to establish a priority list of titles for each department in the event that titles may have to be cancelled due to budget cuts.  It is understood that the departments themselves would be contacted for their input, and it would be helpful to have a guiding document.

Currently, there is no collection development policy to address journal subscriptions.
Degrees are granted at all three levels, but not for all departments.

Has anyone done this sort of exercise before?
Would you please be kind enough to share ideas for such a "checklist" and your experience?

Your input, experience and ideas would be very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Heather
