Part 1: Going Forward – Controlling What Comes In
This workshop focuses on managing incoming materials to ensure they align with your institution’s mission and policies. Learn how to confidently accept only the materials that support your goals—and just as importantly, develop the tools and confidence to decline items that don’t fit.
Before the workshop, we’ll send out a questionnaire via email. If you’d like, you can also share your mission statement or collection development policy for group discussion.

Part 2: Weeding Your Current Collection Wisely
This session will guide you through evaluating your existing collection with an eye toward your institution’s evolving priorities. You’ll learn practical steps for responsibly deaccessioning materials that no longer serve your mission.
As a group, we’ll review deaccession policies and work through strategies for removing items that don’t align with your organization’s goals. Before the workshop, we’ll send a questionnaire to learn more about your institution’s unique challenges and offer an opportunity to share your deaccession policy for discussion.
