To Weed or Not to Weed

White, Kristine





This is a short and sweet article about why it is necessary to weed collections and how to go about it.  For example, to help with the consideration of items:

M=misleading: factually inaccurate 
U=ugly: beyond mending or rebinding 
S=superseded by a new edition or a better book on the subject T=trivial: of no discernible literary or scientific merit or entertainment value 
I=irrelevant to the needs and interests of the library’s community E=elsewhere: nonessential material easily obtainable from another resource
