The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County recently began a multi-year <span>reorganization</span> of
its research library, with the goal of focusing our resources on the
needs of our own staff and researchers. In more than a century of
existence, the library collection has grown to include many items that
are now outside our evolving collecting scope or that have been rendered
unnecessary to our institution by new technologies, new knowledge, or
new editions. <br><br>However, we recognize that items that no longer
belong in our collection could become a valued part of yours. As we
withdraw these items from the collection, we therefore hope to find
institutions for whose scope they are more suitable. Items we are
withdrawing include serials, books, maps, and other resources, from
humanities and social sciences disciplines as well as natural and
physical sciences. We will ask receiving institutions to pay the cost
of shipping materials, but are otherwise prepared to make withdrawn
items freely available to your institutions.<br><br>If you would like to see a current list of materials available, please view our current list of offerings at <a href="http://bit.ly/NHMLAlibrary" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/NHMLAlibrary</a>.
This is a running list of items scheduled for disposition; it is not
complete and will be updated throughout the project. If you would like
to be notified when we update the list, please fill out the form here: <a href="http://bit.ly/NHMLAlib_updates" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/NHMLAlib_updates</a>.

look forward to working with many of you to ensure the best possible
access to these materials for the scholars, patrons, and visitors we all
support. Please feel free to share with any appropriate lists and
