Switching the Vacuum into Reverse: A Case Study of Retrospective Conversion As Collection Management
Abstract
This article explores how a retrospective conversion project at the University of Wyoming's American Heritage Center became a vehicle not simply for improved access (a traditional objective of on-line cataloging), but also for reappraisal and a variety of other collections management initiatives. The article also examines in depth a collection management option-deaccessioning-that became available following the completion of the project.
