By learning how to rightsize, you will ensure that both the
collection and your institution's available physical spaces meet
the needs of your library's users. Honored with many accolades,
including a starred review in Library Journal, the first edition of
this book demonstrated the power and flexibility of "rightsizing,"
an approach that applies a scalable, rule-based strategy to help
academic libraries balance stewardship of spaces and the
collection. In the five years since Ward's first edition, the
shared print infrastructure has grown in leaps and bounds, as has
coordination among programs. With this revision, Miller addresses
new options as well as the increasing urgency to protect at-risk
titles as you reduce your physical collection. Readers will feel
confident rightsizing their institution's own collections with this
book's expert guidance on the concept of rightsizing, a strategic
and largely automated approach that uses continuous assessment to
identify the no- and low-use materials in the collection, and its
five core elements; crafting a rightsizing plan, from developing
withdrawal criteria and creating discard lists to managing workflow
and disposing of withdrawn materials, using a project-management
focus; moving toward a "facilitated collection" with a mix of
local, external, and collaborative services; six discussion areas
for decisions on participating in a shared print program; factors
in choosing a collection decision support tool; relationships with
stakeholders; how to handle print resources after your library
licenses perpetual access rights to the electronic equivalent; and
future directions for rightsizing

Daughter of the ""Wolf of Wall Street,"" Belle Baruch (1899-1964)
could outride, outshoot, outhunt, and outsail most of the young men
of her elite social circle. Unapologetic for her athleticism and
interests in traditionally masculine pursuits, Baruch towered above
male and female counterparts in height and daring. She is known
today for the wildlife conservation and biological research center
on the South Carolina coast that bears her family name. Belle's
life reflects the world of wealthy northerners like the Vanderbilts
and Luces who bought tracts of southern acreage. Miller details
Belle's fox hunting at Hobcaw, show jumping at Deauville, flying
her own plane, and traveling with Edith Bolling Wilson. She
recounts Belle's efforts to win her mother's approval and her
father's attention, as well as her unraveling relationships with
friends, family, employees, and lovers - both male and female.
Miller describes Belle's final success in saving Hobcaw from
development as the overarching triumph of a tempestuous life.
