What is deselection and why do we do it?
Answer
Deselection is the withdrawal of materials from the library collection with the goal of maintaining a collection which satisfies the mission of the University of Central Oklahoma and serves the research and current informational needs of the UCO community. This process is an essential part of collection development. A collection evaluation procedure has been developed drawing on American Library Association principles, collection development policies of other academic institutions, and other appropriate sources.
