 Collections Under Review |
| |
 Polk Library is doing routine weeding of the collection. We would like feedback from faculty as to whether we should keep any of these items based on curriculum needs, seminal works, subject matter, etc. The books are listed in call number order with subject headings and sub-headings (see below) to make reviewing the titles in your area as easy as possible.
The lists were compiled of books over 20 years old that have no recorded use in the last 10 years. Additional information has been added regarding physical condition, additional copies or editions, etc. Two abbreviations are also used: "NOS" indicates that the book is not on the shelf and likely missing; "BCL3" indicates that the book was listed in "Books for College Libraries 3rd Edition (1988)" as a recommended book at that time.
Please send feedback to Ron Hardy ( hardyr@uwosh.edu / Polk 110 / x2097) by Friday, October 12. If you need additional time please let us know. |
