Abstract:Research shows that the organizational mission, priorities and user are the most important factors of collection development for transportation libraries. The curation project was undertaken as an initiative to align the collection with our Library Mission: To provide access to free, high quality technical assistance and training materials dedicated to rural and Tribal transit systems This curation project encompassed a research-based, concentrated analysis of all resources in terms of relevance to our users’ unique needs, currency, training focus, and relationship to other documents in the Resource Library. There are no national perspectives or standards for retention for technical reports among transportation departments or organizations. This project’s goal was to develop a method for collection management for the National RTAP Resource Library with a primary objectives to design a comprehensive approach to updating resources that we publish. To achieve our goal and objectives, we developed Removal and Retention (R2) Guidelines (Table 1) and the FOREST Model (Figure 1).
