\"\"<\/a>Training<\/strong>
\nSelectors of materials for the library got initial training in our new selection tool collection HQ. This tool will help us easily figure out what sections of the collection are under\/overstocked, which authors and titles are most popular in a given month, which items need to be replaced because they’ve been used many many times and are likely in poor condition (we have DVDs that have circulated upwards of 400 times!), and what it’s time to let go of because no one has checked it out in years (don’t worry, we’ll be keeping the classics!)<\/p>\n
