[Mcls-print-storage] New MCLS print project participants

[Robert Kelly]

Please see EMU perspective about the next steps and concerns we have about the benefits for libraries volunteering to have smaller withdrawal picklists and a need to develop a replacement policy for lost archived materials.

Doug, Barbara-- 

You are both correct. Doug is right that the 743,000 number is based on library-level 3-circ maximum. 

Barbara is correct in that titles that circulated more than 3 times in any library do not appear as part of the 743,000--they appear on no-one's list. We should definitely rethink that next time around (i.e. Aug/Sept 2013), as it will yield additional candidates. 

My sense from the list is that our working premise is to move ahead with that original list of 743,000 -- pending comments from Central and Eastern. (Ruth ran into Sandy Yee at ALA and Wayne is good with that approach).

Barbara, 

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were saying. I would say our preference would be to use the library-circ limit versus the total-group circ criteria if we’re going to up the numbers, unless you’re able to do what you describe below. I think that means we’re on the same page (maybe?). I may have misunderstood what criteria we were looking at using, but I thought we could still use the library-level 3 circ maximum and reach our 700,000+ number. Perhaps I need to reread the thread, so someone please correct me if I am wrong. 

Doug

Doug et al, 
I don't see how you will have "high use" titles in your pool as anything that has circ'd more than 3 times at ANY library won't make the deselection candidate list if I'm understanding this correctly. I'm more concerned about the situation where several libraries may have to retain low (or no use titles) that never made the potential candidate list because they happen to be high circulating titles in another library (or two) that would probably be only too happy to keep that title on behalf of the group. Those titles never appear on the radar in our current set up because they have circulated more than 3 times in certain libraries. See for example Randy's proposed criteria title 4 example. CMU, EMU and GVSU should be able to have that title on their potential discard list ideally in my opinion. I have no idea how many such titles there are likely to be. 

As I said earlier - I am more than willing to be pragmatic about this to keep the project moving forward at this stage - we have plenty to work on. I just want to be careful about what we lock ourselves into for the future. 
Barbara
