[OPLINLIST] Chilton Manuals in Collection

[Alicia Wilkins]

It is hard to give them up.  We removed Chiltons from our Reference collection 3 or 4 years ago, but we still have a large selection in nonfiction. We are dropping AllData from our online resources as no one is using it.  We also tell patrons about Chiltons on the Ohio Web Library, but most do not want to use it.  They want a book.

Good Afternoon,

We withdrew all of ours a few years back. We also are referring patrons to the Ohio Web Library database.

Thank you, everyone, for your responses regarding the Chilton manuals.  You have all provided food for thought as I work my way through the 600's.  I do know we will definitely be holding on to all small engine manuals, especially now at the height of the mowing season.  No one has asked for any yet, but we will see what the summer brings.  Enjoy your weekend.

Good Morning --  Our library is taking some time to rework the non-fiction collection:  adjusting shelving, weeding, interfiling biographies with subjects, etc.  My question for the group is:  How much real estate are you continuing to set aside for Chilton Manuals and what years do you find to be the most useful?  We haven't checked any manuals out for quite a while, but then circulation has dropped tremendously during the pandemic.
