Slote shows you how to identify the core collections versus the weedable items. After reviewing current weeding practices and standards, he discusses a variety of traditional and computer-assisted methods for weeding.
Based on the author's ongoing research, field observations, and interviews with library professionals, this edition thoroughly updates the previous one and simplifies the process of weeding. Slote shows librarians how to identify the core collections versus the weedable items. After reviewing current weeding practices and standards, he discusses a variety of traditional and computer-assisted methods for weeding. His approach is based on the new understanding of the relationship between in-library use and circulation use. A section dealing with reference (noncirculating) collections has been added, and the chapter on computer-assisted weeding has been completely rewritten to help librarians streamline the weeding process. All forms have been redesigned.

Store description
Black Sun Compass is a home based operation located in Wilson, NC. (The name holds sentimental value.) The sole proprietor "Max" is nostalgic for bodies in which Characters are enshrouded, thus his fascination with Stories in all shapes and forms. As books are an embodiment of Stories it would explain why his library is overflowing with volumes that need new homes. With a collection of 20+ years and growing, there are many things that will not even be listed so if there is something in particular you are looking for just "Ask The Seller". ("Max" also enjoys the hunt so if he does not have it in the collection he'll be happy to help you find it.)…
