Let It Go: Weeding Your Library's Collection
July 27 & 28, 2021, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm CDT
It's no secret that information professionals have strong opinions when it comes to weeding, but weeding your library’s collection is a vital piece of collection development. Removing an item from the library is often difficult, but weeding
can make your collection more accessible and more attractive to your patrons. Attendees will learn about techniques for collection assessment, including how to establish evaluation criteria that fits your library, how to develop sound weeding policies, best
practices and techniques for weeding your collection, and how to communicate about the process to your staff and patrons.
