| Abstract: | A carefully developed weeding process is an essential element in any thorough collection management effort. A successful weeding program requires detailed planning and careful development of criteria for selecting materials. Options for storage, staffing constraints, alternative methods for weeding, and preservation issues must all be considered carefully in implementing a weeding program. With careful planning that relates to the institution's goals, such a program can make a significant contribution to the effective management of any library's collection. |
