Remember this?

Questions you’ll ask … How many other OL libraries own this? How many OL copies should we have before I discard mine? Should I send it to a (regional) depository? What do I do if mine is the last copy?

Last Copy Guidelines If it’s the last copy … –Send “last copy” offer to the list –Contact another OL library directly

OhioLINK Discard listserv Offer the title to another OhioLINK library through the OhioLINK DISCARD listserv. subject line: LAST COPY OFFER Allow at least seven days for the offer to be accepted on a "first come, first served" basis.
