I am passing this notice along with the
caution that what a large university library is discarding may be too scholarly
for a public library.

Subject: Offer of Surplus Materials by the University of Texas
Libraries (Austin)
The University of Texas Libraries is making available to TexShare
institutions surplus and superceded materials accumulated since the review last
fall. We are using this TexShare distribution list to make it easier to
route the information within your libraries.
These materials will be available for review and selection by your
representative(s)
18-22 September and 25-29 September
2006 from 8:30 am-4:30 pm in the Collections Deposit Library
(CDL), located at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and Red
River St. in Austin.
These materials are offered at no cost; however, packing and
transportation are the responsibility of the selecting institution. We
ask that selected materials be removed during the review period or no later
than Friday, 6 October 2006.
To assist you in reviewing and/or selection, the material is shelved by
general subject area. Both surplus gifts and withdrawn titles are
included; condition ranges from fair to good, depending on previous use.
