[aisle] New Library

[Renee Welch]

I recently did an overhaul of my nonfiction.  Before I ever pulled a book
it helped to run a Collections Statistics summary. Go through those
pages....Highlight old copyright dates but watch your content.  Believe it
or not, sometimes you still need that book from 2005. Also, historical
material rarely changes no matter the date. Pull from shelves & delete from
circulation.  I had student volunteers cover my barcodes with blank white
labels and crossed off the school name stamped inside using big black
markers. Their assembly line was brilliantly done. One week though....wow.
Good luck!
