Event Description
Weeders Attract More Readers!
We all know that weeding is a necessary part of maintaining a healthy and useful library collection. But when it comes right down to it, the process isn’t as easy as it sounds. Should a book be pulled just because it hasn’t circulated in a year? What if some of the information is still okay? And when will we find the time? Besides, if we pulled every book that should be weeded the shelves would be bare! This half-day workshop will provide participants with effective weeding strategies and tips for overcoming the biggest obstacles—time, money and bad PR. Participants will also weed a portion of a library collection.
Presented by: Belinda Boon, MLIS, PhD, Assistant Professor, Kent State University School of Library & Info. Science
