Hi all,
We're in the process of revising our old collection development policy and in reviewing other institutions' deaccession policies, we saw some have used Better World Books for weeded materials.
Are there any VCCS colleges who have used BWB or a similar option before, and what were your/their experiences (worth it or not?)? Also, considering this is deaccessioned state property, are there any policy issues in working with a third-party like that, that would prevent it from even being an option?
Thanks for any insight you all can offer!
