2/19
Weeding or disquisition is the act of remoing items from library!s collection, which
could be a controersial process" Weeding and acquisition go hand# in# hand in library
deelopment management, it is one of the best tools aailable for long# range
improement of library collections, but it could also be destruction of public property" $%&
'herefore libraries should use the best method of weeding, and take only the adantages
of this process" 'here are different methods of weeding that depend on the type and si(e
of the library, but if libraries hae to take these weeded items out of their collection) they
should think of a better way to reuse them instead of just discarded them and put them in
bo*es for public, they should reealuate their acquisition systems to aoid wasting their
budgets in some collection that will stay on the sheles till it ended up in a pile of
withdrawn materials" +s there any better idea than that 'hat!s what +!m going to discuss
in this project"
II. Puro!e and "oa# o$ the ro%ect
At Huntington branch library# a small public library in Shelton Connecticut# + found outthat they are withdrawing a ery good collection of books, for adults and children,
besides other materials like children -HS, or some other educational materials, .ach
time + isit the library, + find a pile of withdrawn materials outside the library in the hall
of the community center where the library is located" -isitors could pick whateer they
want from that pile, that stop me, + asked myself /+s that a destruction of public property
or what Are there any better way to reuse these materials instead of that" 'hen lots of
question distracted me trying to find a solution for that problem, + had to get answers to
these questions in order to start this project and take the decision about the better way of
reusing these materials" 'hese questions included0

%" 7o other libraries in the area do the same thing with the withdrawn materials if they
are withdrawing any of them
6" What are the other methods of weeding that other librarian use for weeding
8" How we know if these weeded items are needed by others
4" What are the better ways of reusing these weeded materials
'he goal of this project is to proe that withdrawing weeded materials atHuntington library is not the best idea to get rid of unwanted materials, there could be
other beneficial way to reuse these items, also this project aims to hae the librarian
there to rethink of their acquisition system, and take adantage of this weeding process
to improe the library collection, and sae their budget in material that public really
need"
III. &imitation! o$ the !tud'
+ limited my research to the Huntington Branch library in Shelton Connecticut, because
it!s the only library of all the public libraries + sureyed that!s withdrawing their weeded
materials" + also limited my project to the weeded books only) because + noticed the alue
of these books, while the other withdrawn items are not that aluable" A copy of this final
project will be introduced to the director of that library to discuss the best way to reuse
weeded items instead of get rid of them"
+-" (ethod! o$ !earchin"
+n order to get answers to my questions, + adopted the case study method" +n this case +
needed to know the beneficial way to reuse the withdrawn materials in certain library
which is Huntington library, + had to collect information about the weeding system in this
library, and analy(e it to get the results that lead to find the better way of reusing these

told me the library is like a popular library, they depend on the best seller adertisement
to collect their books, they purchase whateer people prefer to read, sometimes that
doesn!t work with the circulation of these popular books, or sometimes they buy more
copies thinking that people could needed, and after a while these books don!t hae the
same appeal any more, they stayed years on the sheles, and nobody wants to read
them, then they had to get rid of them, they sometimes put them on sail, but most of the
time they withdraw them by just putting them in the hall for the library where isitors
could pick whateer they want from that pile, they think that they are giing them back
to the public who paid ta*es, but what if any other residents from different towns took
them And are there anyway else they could get more benefits than that Before +
answer that question + had to show how they process weeding in the Huntington library

'he library has to hae a weeding policy to adapt, in order to process weeding their
collection, Irom my e*perience with Huntington library while + was olunteering there
for almost si* months, + noticed that they hae no written policies for weeding, the only
method they use is the book circulation control$4& if any item didn!t checked out for two
years then theyJll weed it, that happened when they decide to do their annual weeding ,
they!ll get a computer printout of the section being considered to process weeding $5&
then they go to the sheles and start looking for those books, if they found them) they!ll
check them in their catalog to see if they are haing more copies, and if the one that
didn!t checked out in better condition, they keep the good copy and withdraw the other ,
they also check if these uncirculated books hae any special thing to keep them like
some of them could be part of series, or a winner of best seller award, if they decided to
withdraw them they discarded them from the library catalog and mark them or put
withdrawn labels oer the barcode numbers,$K& then simply pile them up to put them in a
bo* outside one of the library!s entrance" 'hat happened with all the weeded collection
that they decide to get rid of, that could be affectie with the Adult collection, but the
library uses the same policy for teens and 1uenile collections, these children books are
as different from adult collections as children are from adults, and they require different
considerations for weeding, because children as patrons often require an adult Jgo#
between! to find what they need for research and pleasure reading" A child browsing
through the nonfiction collection may be completely lost unless he or she has been
shown, and understands, how to find the materials needed" $3& 'herefore not circulated
books doesn!t mean they are not needed any more, sometimes they couldn!t find some

'here are other ways to get rid of the weeded books rather than throwing them
away" 'he library doesn!t throw all the weeded books all the time, in some cases they
choose some of these weeded books, and put them on sale inside the library or in the
library book sale eent which got most of its collection from public donation"
Sometimes they receie a request from some charity institutions in needed areas asking
for children books as a donation, the librarian then will make a quick weeding list from
their uncirculated collections, and take off these uncirculated books, and after checking
them out of their catalog, they put them in a package, then ship them to that place" 'hat!s
what the library always does with the weeded books, but are there any different better
ideas for reusing these books, instead of that

7onating these weeded books to charity is not a bad idea, but still, these books
are property of the community of Shelton, who pay the ta*es in order to get their public
library serices" +t could be better idea if they first gie these books the chance to be
represented in a different way to help the library patrons to reconsider them, and maybe
they would be wondering /Are these books were there all that time and we didn!t know9
'hat was my first idea of reuse these books before the library take that weeding
decision, + suggested that to the librarian, while + was olunteering there, doing the
weeding process for teen collection back in April, + found some of these uncirculated
books misplaced with the 1uenile collection, actually + felt sorry for these books and
others which misplaced and then judged unfairly to be out of the library collection, they

of them" 'he librarian listened to my suggestion and gae them another chance"
'hen + thought of another way to sae these books before they got e*ecuted, and been
withdrawn out of the library collection, + thought of giing another chance to most of
these uncirculated books that we consider aluable, by representing them in another
place which attract isitors! eyes, and put some notes to reintroduce these books to their
readers either Adults or children, that could help these books to get the attention they
desere"
'o put these material on sale to the same community who refused to read them while
they were for free on the library sheles, that won!t help the library to get some more
money back out of that book sale, they hae to put these books on sale in different place
rather that the library book sale" +!m not sure is that possible or not And is that will help
them to get more money Gr there will be other costs of shipping and renting the place
for that sale Gr if the library could find any free ways to sae money they should
consider that suggestion"
After + checked what other library do with their weeded collections, if they hae to take
them out, + got some other good ideas for reusing these books instead of that, these
include0
