Cynthia,
 
Here's one source:
 
Though I didn't attend the session, deaccessioning was the topic of a
session at SAA last month in Indianapolis. This information is from the
original program, so presenters and topics may have been changed:
 
SINS OF THE FATHERS: CONDUCTING REAPPRAISAL & DEACCESSIONING
 
Chair: Pat Morris, S. Carloina Dept of Archives & History
        "Collections Management Aspects of Reappraisal"
 
Presenters:
 
Tracey Berezansky, Alabama Dept. of Archives & History
        "Deaccessioning Legislation & Procedures in Alabama"
 
Tom Norris, NY State Archives & Records Admin.
        "On Second Thought: Reappraisal in the New York State Archives"
 
Lora Bloom, Univ. Of Wyoming
        "Archival Legacies: Reappraisal & Deaccessioning of Manuscripts"
 
Matt Blessing, State Historical Society of Wisconsin
        "Procedures for Reappraisal & Deaccessioning at a Manuscript
                Repository"
 
If interested, you should be able to get a conference tape of this
session from SAA in Chicago. Not sure of the cost. Or you might
contacting the presenters directly.
