Member Comment for New Acquisitions Record Retention and Removal Policy

Submitted by John Kirchner on Mon, 03/03/2025 - 2:42pm

Recently, SHARE Bibliographic Services staff became aware that vendors used by libraries to purchase materials reuse invoice numbers after a 7–10-year period. Due to the age of SHARE as well as multiple acquisition libraries utilizing the same vendor(s), it is highly likely that additional instances of orders with duplicate invoice numbers will occur.

The following policy is being proposed to prevent these occurrences. Please comment below by May 14, 2025, for your comment to be considered by the SHARE Bibliographic and Cataloging Standards Committee.
