Effective Weeding
By Diane J. Young -- Library Journal, 11/15/2009
Raise you hand if you can't face weeding.
You are not alone. All over the country, books are stacked three high on window sills, Fodor's Yugoslavia 1987 languishes on the shelf, and HVAC systems send out BTUs to heat and cool the broken spines of Harry Potter. This can change.
In my 20 years as a reference librarian and public library administrator, I've been deep in collection development work, organizing systematic weeding projects and getting my hands dirty in the stacks, even inventing the Weed-U-Matic to make the work of deselection easier.
