Both Gene and Jacque posted questions/suggestions for the committee to consider when it convenes. Below is a summary. These should act as our agenda for the upcoming meetings, because I'm assuming we will not be able to get through everything at once.
1. Determine the process by which titles are identified to be deleted (e.g. by subject, by date, etc.) and establish criteria for weeding (i.e. we will always delete an older edition when the new one is cataloged).
2. Develop a process where others (other than the committee) can suggest titles for deletion.
2. For titles under consideration for deletion, determine if we delete the title globally or allow continued access to a few colleges.
3. Determine process for notifying the colleges of possible deletions; provide an avenue for people to make comments/suggestions if the title is used in support of a course.
4. Determine if the title should be removed from all access points, i.e. other databases, in addition to the catalog.
5. Determine if we want to totally delete the bib record, suppress it, or remove it by other means.
6. When we have duplicate records (because of OCLC numbers), which title do we keep and why? How do we identify these records?
I would also add -- determine the frequency of this process; how often will we do ebook deletions?
What is the process for individually owned titles? Does it differ? What about FOD records?
Does anyone have additional items they would like the committee to discuss?
