Congratulations go out to librarian Joseph Williams (Head
of Technical Services and Acquisitions) for his new article, “At Sea:
Reclaiming a Serials Collection at a Small Specialized Library,” published
in the Serials Librarian, 63:3-4, pp. 359-369.
Mr. Williams’s article describes a
multi-year project in which the Stephen B. Luce Library worked to restore and
optimize its print serial holdings for preservation and access. After a review
of the literature the article focuses on project work flow, preservation,
bibliographic control, and the criteria for decision-making processes among the
librarians to determine appropriate titles to keep or discard. Provided are
data collected on titles, some statistics, and tentative future plans to
augment access and digitize holdings.
Print copies of the article are
available at the library. Congratulations, Joe!
