Here is my simplified system:

I weed YEARLY by doing a collection analysis through Titlewave and then use the titles (based on age) as a "suggested" list to weed. I choose not to weed some of the books it suggests because I know that some are "popular" titles or are ones used by teachers for class projects. I sometimes try to get newer publication dates of older "popular" copyrighted books, so there are some newer copies. I also weed books that are in bad shape, but if they are popular, again I try to find newer copies.

I did have to deep weed the year I started here because they did not weed much before I arrived. I weeded several thousand OLD books at that time. Nowadays, it is more a few hundred.

Hello all,

I am working on an LIS class assignment about the weeding practices at different libraries. If you have time (should take about 10 minutes) and would like to share your thoughts and experiences on weeding, I would greatly appreciate if you would fill out the attached Google form. Thank you so much for your help!
