Technical Services: Reviewing Gifts & Donations

Information for Selectors

As of 2/12/2013, gifts and donations are recorded by technical services staff in a Google spreadsheet.  The gifts database has been de-commissioned due to maintenance problems.

Technical services staff will enter information on gifted and donated material for each item into the spreadsheet.  Selectors are responsible for checking the spreadsheet periodically to review items in their subject areas.

What You Can Do in the Spreadsheet

The spreadsheet can be sorted by any of the columns in order to find materials that are of interest to you.  When possible, technical services staff place LC call numbers in column M "Call #", to enable sorting by subject.

After you have made a decision regarding an item on the list, please do the following:

• Choose your name from the dropdown arrow at the upper right corner of each cell in column N "Selector Name" (if your name does not appear in the dropdown menu choices, please e-mail Cara Calabrese and she will add you to the list).
• Choose "Yes" or "No" from the dropdown menus in each cell of column O "Selector Keep".

The spreadsheet should save changes automatically.

Materials that are not reviewed within two to three weeks of entry on the spreadsheet will be offered to OhioLINK libraries and/or recycled.
