Collection Development/Collection Management
To begin the collection development/management process there are different resources to consult for new or updated materials in math and science
General Reference Sources
Guide to Reference Books
Focused Review Sources
American Libraries -- American Libraries mainly reviews titles for public libraries but also reviews reference material
Booklist -- Booklist offers general book reviews as well as reviews on reference and online materials.
CHOICE -- provides reviews for academic libraries on a monthly basis. Every January CHOICE publishes the "Outstanding Academic Titles" issue for materials from the year before.
Library Journal Online -- Each April 15th Library Journal publishes a "Best of Reference Sources" issue.
Publishers Weekly -- Look for reviews of most recently or about to be published materials.

BHCC Library Collection Weeding Statement
Continuous assessment of library materials initiates items being withdrawn and added to the collection during the course of the academic year.
BHCC library staff review of American Library Association (ALA) guidelines on collection development and management together with participation in library consortia provide a framework for collection management. In addition, to ensure collection management is a collaborative effort consultation with BHCC faculty for curriculum guidelines and standards as well as subject-specific guidelines are also considered.
Basic Guidelines for Collection De-selection: things to consider
1. How often is this item used?
2. Is this item current? (--newer edition or replacement title available?)
3. What is the physical condition of item?
4. Is there physical space for this item?
5. If the item is currently in the Reference section of the library should it be transferred to the Circulating Collection (or other appropriate collection) or withdrawn completely from library inventory?
6. What in the curriculum does this item support?
