Disposal

Just as it is necessary to consult with the library about new purchases in order to maintain coordinated and systematic holdings, it is also necessary to consult with the library about the disposal of literature or other media (Handbuch der Verwaltung, 13 A 2 (Gerätewesen - Aussonderung von Literartur)).

According to the handbook, literature which is no longer needed in the institute libraries is to be offered to the KIM Library in the form of a list of titles. The KIM Library checks all offered literature and decides on the basis of its archiving guidelines which literature it will include in its holdings and which can be disposed of.

So that the holdings listed for your institute remain up to date in the electronic catalogue for the University, please let KIM know the call number of the media you have disposed of.
