Book Weeding and Library Statistics
Dear all
I have a query. We are facing a serious shortage of space in our Engineering library. For this, certain number of books have been identified by us (with experts involved) as fit to be weeded out.
My query is, after weeding out, for various statistics - UGC, AICTE, Shiskshan Shulk etc, the weeded out books can still be shown as our collection or not?
The problem is, if weeded out books cannot be shown as a part of our collection, then in certain streams, we will fall short of the norms stipulated by various bodies! What is the solution? Do we retain the books instead of weeding them out?
