Periodicals Cancellation |
| |
| Abstract: | The academic librarian must have ultimate control over and responsibility for collection development decisions. This responsibility can be strengthened in the course of a periodicals cancellations project. Most librarians undertaking such projects rely on use study results as the principal criterion for making cancellation decisions; periodicals cost, however, is also of critical importance, as is the value of the item as perceived by faculty. This value factor allows an appropriate role for faculty input. It is, however, only one of three criteria established by the librarian, and the faculty role is clearly one of input only. Final authority for the establishment of cancellation criteria and for cancellation decisions remains with the librarian. |
