<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I completely understand and agree. We also have titles in QA and ZA especially that we shouldn't be keeping but we will because we are obligated. I agree though that perhaps there is some way for
medical and technological related sections to better design the retentions in those areas. I understand the concept of preserving material locally, but I think some material in certain subjects does eventually reach a limit where its value is completely gone.
Maybe I'm wrong on that. Just my opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I'm working on a review of the Library Science section (Z and ZA) of our collection and am looking at our MI-SPI retention list in this area. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">We have titles in our retention list that serve very little useful purpose at this point. Examples include: "Word for Windows 6.0 slick tricks" and "WordPerfect 6 for Windows insider". <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Are there any ideas on how can we better fine tune our retention lists to reflect our library type, 'local' collecting goals, etc? Of course we'll retain these titles. I won't lie, I was quite
excited to weed out all of the old computer and software manuals. Hopes dashed!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Another question: are we trying to preserve for circulation 2 copies of every book in our collective circulating collections without regard to its utility? The examples I provided are nearly
20 years old. WordPerfect 6 for Windows was released in 1993. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">And these examples are more benign than this: we have older copies of First Aid and CPR manuals on our retention lists. Yes, this is a weeding failure on our library's part - we should NOT have
a National Safety Council's 1994 "Essentials of First Aid and CPR" in our collection. Outside of a specialized medical history collection, it is a disservice for us to keep this title in our collection.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">So I wonder if MI-SPI can't have some sort of conversation about this in preparation for our next refresh. I will ensure that EMU keeps the titles we agreed to retain as part of the MI-SPI agreement.
In the future I'd like to see if there is anything we can do to fine-tune our holdings to reduce the likelihood of having to retain 'bad' information like outdated first aid manuals or 'minimally useful' information like superseded software manuals.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
