Given the limited space available for housing materials in the Woodruff Stack Tower and the importance of browsing to many disciplines, we need to systematically identify library materials that do not circulate, are low use, or are less likely to be browsed. Such materials will be reviewed for possible transfer to Storage or withdrawn. The goal of these reviews is to develop a robust and responsive collection of resources for faculty and student use and ensure continued space for our print collections as they grow.
Woodruff Library call number ranges currently under review are noted below. As materials are reviewed, spreadsheets of recommended storage decisions will be posted. We welcome your review of these recommendations. Please submit your comments and suggestions for further review by the appropriate Subject Liaison. Completed subject reviews of call number ranges are noted at the bottom of this page.
