are frequently asked to rescue "orphan collections" that will be
discarded without their intervention. Each orphan collection has
unique characteristics and must be assessed to determine if it
fits into the institutional mission and will accentuate
departmental strengths. Orphan collections seldom come with
funding and can heavily impact limited small collection
resources. This webinar will use actual examples of orphan
collection assimilation and rejection in the small collection
environment. It will provide methods to effectively determine
the most important criteria for deciding to accept or reject an
orphan collection.<br>
