[ISLMA-Share] Book Weeding

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

MUSTY *

M - Misleading. Can occur more rapidly in technology than mythology. Look
for: ƒ “Dated” popular fiction. ƒ Obsolete  information. ƒ Books containing
racial, cultural or sexual stereotyping.

U - Ugly. Refers to the physical condition of the book. ƒ Antiquated
appearance. ƒ Worn-out, frayed, dirty. ƒ Unable to mend.

S - Superseded. There may be newer copies available. ƒ Duplicate copies. ƒ
Almanacs, yearbooks, encyclopedias superseded by newer editions.

T - Trivial. Look for appropriateness for the collection. Check for poor
writing, inaccurate information, an inappropriate interest or reading level
for students.

Y - Your collection has no use for the book. It is irrelevant to your
curriculum.
