- In this Article, we have tried to define the question of the Terminology of the sensitive and less explored Problem of the Withdraw and Exclusion of the oddments. Under the term of Withdraw, we mean the reduction of the number of copies, and under Exclusion, we had in mind the removal of the Book Title from the Holdings, which is more delicate and responsible work. According to this, we started from two categories, certainly the most important ones, regarding the Holdings – Usage and Evaluation of the Holdings. The Evaluation is understood dually, from the perspective of the sole Library and from the perspective of its Users. We have mainly used the English and American Professional Literature, because a great number of Authors, from that area, is dealing successfully with this matter, since the middle of last Century. Above all, we had in mind the Public, Popular Libraries, focused on high demanded Literature, with little or without exceptions. The Scale of Values for such Libraries is the percentage of usage of the Holdings and the satisfaction of the Needs of Users. The Final Goal of such approach is the formation of a flexible Holdings, the Incensement of the Usage Effect, the Reduction of the Price for maintenance and release of the space for a new actual book.
