Work is depressing. I've been asked to come up with a plan for reducing the library square footage by half, together with an impact statement about what we lose if we follow through. This place is my baby, and I look around and try to identify 1/2 of the collection (at least in linear shelf space terms) to throw away. Would you throw away half your family? Would your choices change if you knew you were going to be second-guessed by Uber-Boss, but Uber hasn't responded to your memo requesting input?

I may be able to give or sell some of the continuous runs of magazines. Also some government documents (e.g. the NASA stuff). Most of the books that I would be tossing are stuff that most benefit book sales would decline - Former Uber's college textbooks, for instance.

If you are looking for a home for the NASA stuff (which I assume Space Enthusiasts would at least find interesting), I would recommend
