Part of weeding is getting over the anxiety of discarding books that may have never been circulated or are still physically in shape but are no longer appealing to students.

You have to clear out the old, ugly, or uncirculated items in order to make the new items visible and appealing.</div><div><br></div><div>To assuage their anxiety about removing the books, people also want to find a new good home for their discarded books. Sometimes this just isn't possible. You remove certain books from your shelves because the information is no longer relevant.
