When done the right way, weeding helps a library thrive by focusing its resources on those parts of the collection that are the most useful to its users. This handbook takes the guesswork out of this delicate but necessary process, giving public and school library staff the knowledge and the confidence to effectively weed any collection, of any size. Going through the proverbial stacks shelf by shelf, Vnuk explains why weeding is important for a healthy library, demonstrating that a vibrant collection leads to robust circulation, which in turn affects library budgets; walks readers through a library's shelves by Dewey area, with recommended weeding criteria and call-outs in each area for the different considerations of large collections and smaller collections; features a chapter addressing reference, media, magazines and newspapers, e-books, and other special materials; shows how a solid collection development plan uses weeding as an ongoing process, making it less stressful and more productive; offers guidance for determining how to delegate responsibility for weeding, plus pointers for getting experienced staff on board; gives advice for educating the community about the process, how to head off PR disasters, and what to do with weeded materials. Includes a dozen sample collection development plans, easily adaptable to suit a library's individual needs. Filled with field-tested, no nonsense strategies, this handbook will enable libraries to bloom by maintaining a collection that users actually use. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Discarding of books, periodicals, etc.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85038312|vHandbooks, manuals, etc. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001300 650 0 Collection development (Libraries)|vPolicy statements. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh94005902 650 0 Collection development (Libraries)|zUnited States.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2009120584 650 0 Public libraries|xCollection development|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh92005569|zUnited States. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330-781 650 7 Discarding of books, periodicals, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/894819 650 7 Collection development (Libraries)|xPolicy statements. |2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/867177 650 7 Public libraries|xCollection development.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1082666 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Handbooks and manuals.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast /1423877 655 7 Handbooks and manuals.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/genreForms/gf2014026109 776 08 |iPrint version:|aVnuk, Rebecca.|tWeeding handbook |z9780838913277|w(DLC) 2015008707|w(OCoLC)908107263 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1004913|zOnline eBook.
