GIST Gift & Deselection Manager (GDM) Has Been Released and is Available for Download

by KALAMOS BOOKS

My concerns 1] it takes the professional judgement out of collection management. Just because"Hathi Trust and Google Books full-text", may have the item listed is NOT sufficient reason to discard (what happens when the digital format changes, or there when there is any other damage to the electronic record - or even if the power just goes out <g>) 'Hathi Trust and Google Books full-text " ...virtual books may turn out to be as vulnerable as the papyrus or parchment of the Library at Alexandria We STILL need redundancy to ensure preserved documents somewhere 2 This seems it seems to be a neat system for routing books to Better World Books who are NOT actually charity, despite their PR, but a very profitable organization. Only a relatively percentage of their r turnover gets routed to the donating libraries. Their might be better ways of recovering cash for discarded book assets than feeding BWB profits.
