It sounds like Millicent is raising similar issues in the last sentence of her comment about the Rotch theses.

so was the COP decision that the copies could be discarded as the norm except for cases where there is value to the item as 'artifact' or there were there is content that can't be represented with a scan?

The A&H CoP did discuss what to do with the divisional library copy of the historic theses to be scanned and I believe (but I’ll follow-up to confirm) that they agreed to discard the copy after scanning. We’re only doing a subset of the Rotch theses collection at this time (only specific degrees and a specific date range). Of that subset, there will likely be some (large foldouts, accompanying images, media) that can’t be done easily and that we may need to retain the divisional library print copy.

hi,
a few more thoughts....
...
I must have nodded off at LC because I’ve forgotten whatever discussion there was about keeping a chopped up second paper copy of theses once they were in DSpace. If we are willing to live with one paper copy and one electronic copy in DSpace beginning in July 2010 on, why would we want to keep the back second copies of earlier years once they are also in DSpace??

Greetings. As discussed at our last meeting, plans are underway for the Rotch thesis scanning project. Beverly needs a policy decision, not immediately but soon:
