To allow time for list preparation, we will accept lists beginning now and continue accepting through November, 1995. You may list any HE through 1990 to comply with the five year retention. Some discard lists are still out after what seems like a very long time to discarding libraries. Please have patience. If you think a list is extremely late, contact the librarian who has the list or contact the regional.
Some libraries have yet to take advantage of being able to discard.
If you have any questions, read over the old issues of the Tennessee Depository Flyer where procedures are outlined and call if you have questions. The Government Printing Office has given new guidelines on discards which you will see soon in Admin Notes. Unfortunately, much of this can't apply to Tennessee as we are still building retrospective collections. All other states basically completed this process long ago and their regionals have the retrospective collection. There may be instances where the Regional Library can give permission to discard without a list.
