Cosponsored by RUSA CODES/STARS Cooperative Collection Development Committee and CMDS Collection Assessment Committee. American Library Association Annual Conference, June 26, 2010.
Some libraries embrace all copies and formats, others tolerate them, and still others remove all formats/copies but one.

Come listen to best practices about the ways in which libraries have and are addressing issues surrounding eliminating multiple formats and copies.
