Transfer of Materials from General Stacks to Special Collections

Abstract

Recent concerns with collection development policies, preservation, and security have led libraries to consider transfer of materials from their general stacks to special collections as a part of collection management. The success of such a transfer program depends on the careful development of a policy, the establishment of clearly stated areas of responsibilities, the recognition of the importance of realistic procedures, and the setting forth of workable criteria for selecting material to be transferred.
