Series Keeper Update

 

The webpage for the Series Keeper project has now been updated to reflect all of the signed agreements that have been returned to us.

There are 92 series being kept at this point by 41 different libraries!

There is also a wish list of 54 series still looking for a keeper. (Including the Mary Russell mysteries which I personally find a bit troubling.)

If your library wants to volunteer to be the keeper of one of the wish listed series please complete the agreement form and return it (in paper, please!) to NHAIS Services.

On the "keeping a series" tab of the webpage you will find some tools we hope will be useful to you as participants in this project:

  • a list of kept series organized by library (so you can check that you are signed up for what you thought you committed to)
  • a list of kept series organized by author (so you can check it when you are weeding your collections to see what might be wanted by the series keeper).
  • a label that you can print on Avery 5163 or equivalent label stock to attach to books you have agreed to keep (both for promotion of the project and to protect the book from overly-enthusiastic weeders)
