Collection assessment, (mathematics): Mathematics

Statistics

We need your feedback!

General guidelines for Mathematics collection assessment:

Consider removal if:

  • 10 (years of age)/3 (years since most recent use)/MUSTIE guidelines

  • Math does not change as rapidly as other subjects, so weed primarily on MUSTIE factors and lack of use.

  • Replace older materials on algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus with revised editions. Discard books that focus on outdated teaching methods and techniques, such as books that feature ‘new math’ or that focus on slide rules as the primary method for making calculations. Also discard past fads.

  • Discard workbooks and test study guides that have been
    written in or that are MUSTIE. (Crew, 2012, p. 57).
