Items flagged for deaccessioning based on their condition, redundancy, out-of-scope holdings, or care requirements will be posted on the Libraries’ website for one month, to allow for faculty review and comments before removal from the Libraries’ collections. We are not considering student retention recommendations at this time. Retained items, after any necessary treatment, will be returned to library stacks.

If you see an item on this list that you would like us to reconsider, please email Eliot with your justification for why the materials should be retained.
