Blackstone Audio Renewal Guidelines

These guidelines should be used by the subcommittee responsible for selecting new titles annually.
  • The group decided that we would only replace some titles each year. 
    • We will replace titles with lower checkouts. 
  • Before adding titles to our list, we will search for classic titles available through the free Duke Classics titles.
  • We will look for popular titles with plenty of holds and fewer copies purchased when available. 
  • We may buy a newer series title if it's popular and will fulfill holds, even if we cannot purchase the older ones. 
  • Before creating the lists of available titles with checkouts, the Marmot eResources rep researches which titles are still available for sale.
