As requested last week, I am posting the criteria that I used for evaluating science books at Assumption College.
The criteria that I used to bring materials to a review area were:
Outdated items. (Retrospective items or items containing major historical information were not removed under this criterion.)
Medical works published prior to 1998
Computer science works published prior to 1998. (At least one work describing each computer program was retained.)
Other scientific works published prior to 1990, except that math books were not removed under this criterion.
Items in obviously poor condition
Duplicate copies prior to 1990. (Reprints were considered to be duplicates even if they had a different title record.)
Earlier editions, unless significant retrospective information was not repeated in the later edition.
should add that I shared the above criteria with the chair of our Science Department, and he seemed very pleased by the process.
My hope is that the above information will be helpful to members of our interest group, especially our colleagues from Mount Wachusett Community College.
