Abstract
Abstract This Interactive Web column focuses on a traditional aspect of library management – deselection and weeding of physical materials. It describes the process and considerations of a traditionally conservative library when evaluating Open Access journal availability as a suitable substation for retained print materials. While many, if not most, medical and hospital libraries have weeded a significant part of their older print collections, it is still common to have both older print serials holdings and a pressing need for space.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries is a peer-reviewed professional journal devoted to the access, evaluation, and management of electronic resources in the medical library environment. This journal will be an essential resource for academic medical school libraries, hospital libraries, and other health sciences libraries. The material in the Journal of Electronic Resources in Medical Libraries will complement articles published in Medical Reference Services Quarterly (also edited by M. Sandra Wood), which highlights the reference and bibliographic instruction aspects of electronic resources.
