Library Journal Changes–Your Input requested

We invite the campus community to review and comment on the recommendations we have for cancellations. We take our role as stewards of the university’s resources very seriously. In making our collection development decisions for the coming year, we have considered many factors, including usage, costs, full-text availability, among others.
We propose canceling 31 titles for which there will be no exact counterpart available on campus. Please, take a moment to examine the list to ensure that we have precisely identified the least used resources for the campus.
Please see the Bulletin Today article from September 10, 2007 for more information.
