Collections Stewardship Projects

800s: Literature & Rhetoric

From March-May 2024, Davidson faculty, staff, and students are invited to review the Dewey 800's to recommend titles for retention. Please use the spreadsheets below to indicate your recommendation using the dropdown options in Column A. We request name attribution so we may follow up in case of questions. Library staff will make retention recommendations in "Library Staff Notes." 

If you desire a customized spreadsheet for review (for example, curated topical lists or combined Dewey / LC Classification holdings) contact James Simon, Assistant Director of Collections & Discovery.
