It relates the process of wedding collections with the information management model. Collection management is the management of a library's collection. On the other hand, the wedding is the stage in charge of the renovation of the collection with the removal of materials from the shelves, in order to promote space for new documents. Thinking about the quality of the collection and the need of the community, which is continuously updated, it is evident that the practice of wedding plays a relevant role in the formation of a collection. In this way, the steps to perform the wedding are presented here, correlated to the information management phases proposed by Davenport (1998), namely: determination of requirements, obtaining, distribution and use of information. In the methodological procedures, a case study is presented in a university library that presents a favorable situation to study the wedding, in front of which one tries trying to specify the steps adopted in each one of the stages lived in the place. Finally, it is worth noting that, for the library to have an up-to-date collection that can meet the public, collection evaluation and wedding are therefore basic factors.
