We are not necessarily recommending removal of these titles, but because of their age, you may wish to evaluate them for appropriateness and condition. Please keep in mind that many books may no longer be in print, so you will need to consider that before discarding an item. For example, you may not be able to find replacement items for some Caldecott and Newbery Medal winners.

Weeding Overview
We have prepared some guidelines for weeding, but keep in mind that every library is different; every library has unique priorities and problems. Not every suggestion or guideline for weeding in this section will fit your library, so feel free to adapt as necessary. What is Weeding? Weeding is the removing of materials from a library collection in a systematic, deliberate way and is an ongoing part of collection development. Informal weeding is an ongoing process that often occurs as materials are checked-in or checked-out. Formal weeding is a planned process that is not superseded by informal weeding. A rotation schedule can be established allowing for systematic weeding over time. Why is Weeding Important? Every collection needs to be weeded on a fairly regular basis. Not only does each library have limited space, but collections need to change to stay abreast with changes in the school community and the goals of the library. Focusing on the quantity of materials in your collection will not improve their quality; in fact, it can actually harm the collection by making it difficult to find the most useful materials, and it also makes your library appear well stocked, even though it isn't. Funding is far more likely to appear for a library that is not completely full of books. The CREW Method The CREW Method of weeding is one popular system many librarians use. CREW stands for Continuous Review, Evaluation, and Weeding. The acronym MUSTIE sums up the main criteria used in the CREW Method: M U S T I E = = = = = = Misleading--factually inaccurate Ugly--worn beyond mending or rebinding Superceded--by a new edition of by a much better book on the subject Trivial--of no discernible literary or scientific merit Irrelevant--to the needs and interests of your community Elsewhere--material may be obtained expeditiously through interlibrary loan
Additional criteria to look at for weeding is the frequency that an item is checked out and whether there are multiple copies when only one is needed. Items you may want to consider keeping include classics, local history yearbooks, titles on current reading lists, biographical sources, award winners, school publications, and out-of-print titles that are still useful. How to Weed Design a plan that includes a schedule and goals for the weeding process. Schedule weeding during an uninterrupted time. Have post-its, carts, and boxes available. Look at each book and apply your criteria. If pulling the book, note the reason and place on a cart for mending or in a box for disposal. Having documentation for removal is important in case others question it and it may help with budgeting. Don't forget to remove records from the circulation system. Take Action If you don't have a weeding plan in place and would like help developing a plan, please call Collection Analysis at 800-245-9540.
