Description
The poster discusses a reappraisal program for faculty papers under development at Brigham Young University, specifically the tension between caring for legacy collections in our holdings and issues of sustainability faced by academic institutions. The poster explores reappraisal in terms of OCLC's newly released Total Cost of Stewardship (TCOS) Framework, using our faculty papers program as a case study.
