Better Approach Practice
Make weeding an ongoing process Weed poor content poor appearance visibly
unused Train staff and volunteers to pull damaged old
questionable items for evaluation Exceptions scope of collection local interest No surprises
Adapted from CREW Guidelines
Persuading Reluctant Weeders
Prepare counter-arguments to common protests Anticipate variations on ldquoWe might need thisrdquo Use data to counter arguments
Acknowledge feelings Make small weeding projects part oflibrary routine Make it clear where weeded books go No sudden surprises
