Nicole stands next to posterOur Technical Library Assistant - Copy Cataloger, Nicole Barnabei, presented a poster at the NJ Academic Libraries Conference on Friday, January 5. The poster focused on Bjork Library’s use of Baker and Taylor’s Sustainable Shelves Program and our responsibility to provide current research materials for students and faculty. Keeping a collection current requires deaccessioning of books, which can be a daunting task requiring planning, labor, and resources. Nicole asks, “How do we preserve the integrity of the collection but stay environmentally friendly?” and examines how our library utilizes Baker and Taylor’s Sustainable Shelves program to responsibly dispose of outdated and damaged library materials.
