Help: Collection Development

Hi Everyone,

As a recent grad, I'm tackling my first major overhaul of the library - long overdue! I'm looking for suggestions to efficiently tackle a top to bottom thorough purging and replacement. So I don't empty the shelves, I'm doing two passes - 1989 and older and then a second round, 2000 and older. Hopefully I'll have replacements in so the second round won't leave skimpy shelves! Also looking for access to other rehabilitation hospital library catalogues that I could use as a benchmark and guide to be sure I am covering all that I need to.

TIA!

Tamara,
I'm in the process of "cleaning up" my catalogue, but you may take a look (as may you all) at http://slk080.liberty3.net/HFSC/gateway/gateway.exe?application=HFSC&displayform=frame
In fact, any suggestions on the catalogue are welcome as I will be upgrading to newer version in months ahead. It needs to be as complete (and as correct) as possible prior to the flip.
You can also look at the article I wrote in 2001 (to be updated this summer) on core rehab journals
