II. Microform Collection
In the selection of audio visual material, the same
policies and objectives applied to book selection will be
used.

Other considerations include color reproduction,
quality of photography and compatibility with available
equipment.

Format will include filmstrips, video cassettes,
slides, microfiche and tapes. CD-VCD collection shall be
maintained. A space for user-friendly computers to look
at materials accessed through CD-VCD shall be provided.

There shall be provision for the use of internet in
the library.

Section 2. Weeding and Discarding

Weeding is the removal of materials from the primary
collection area of the library. It is considered as an integral part
of the total organized effort to study and organize the collection.
This may result in:
▪ Relocation of material from one collection to another, say
from reference stacks to circulating stacks;
▪ Relocation to a secondary collection such as storage
stacks; and
▪ Discarding of materials altogether.

a) Characteristics of materials for withdrawal or
discarding:

▪ Excess duplicate copies of seldom used or borrowed titles
which only occupy the much needed shelf space.
▪ Materials which contain inaccurate, mediocre or outdated
information for the field of specialization.
▪ Copy has many missing pages and is badly damaged or
extremely mutilated.
▪ Paper has become brittle and extremely yellowed.
▪ Cost of rebinding is more expensive than the cost of the
original book unless this already unavailable.
▪ Numbers of sufficient copies are available even without it.
