This article presents very direct, clear guidelines to follow when weeding
a collection of books. The article explains what steps to take in order to
begin sorting, repairing or discarding items. It presents us with four criteria
to follow when trying to decide what to do with a book. As the article goes
on, it further presents what to consider when weeding nonfiction instead
of fiction. It’s a very well written, clearly stated article that would help
beginning librarians or paraprofessionals in charge of school libraries in
updating their collections. I highly recommend reading it.
