Re: discard decisions Bill Drew -- Serials Librarian 12 Jun 1991 13:55 UTC

In reply to Tom,  why do you keep track of them at all if you have a checkin
system?  Any that we want to keep we put in our serials checkin kardex.
Sometimes I call a publisher about what appears to be a good title to keep
to find out why we are getting it.

We get several free titles related to agriculture that we have entire runs
on.  The rest, including newsletters from organizations that we join to get
a particular title, are either sent to the appropriate faculty member, put
on our junk shelf in the reading area for students to take if they want or
are discarded for recycling.  It is really to much of a nuisance to try to
keep track of all the freebies and unsolicited free issues.  Anything that
my clerk doesn't recognize are passed on to me.
