old book criteria
by Stacy Pasche 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Does anyone have any sort of documentation for book sorting procedures for volunteers sorting donated books? Specifically, I am in need of some guidelines for old books, such as anything prior to 1950, first edition, etc. I have told the book sorters to use their best judgement, but they would feel more comfortable with some guidelines. Thanks, -- Stacy Pasche, Assistant Library Director
