Weeding
"Deselection or weeding should happen annually. Each media specialist is encouraged to examine their collection and select books to remove each year. Deselection amounts should not exceed 5% of the total collection. If more than 5% of a collection needs to be removed, please obtain permission of the Media Services Supervisor" (FCPS Deselection Procedures). Using the above schedule and breaking down the areas will make it much more manageable.
Reg. No. 500-3 C. Disposition of Obsolete Library Media Books (Summary)
Library books that are no longer suitable for circulation may be distributed to teachers for classroom use. Giving the books to students free of cost for at-home use. Care should be taken to avoid placing out-of-date information in the classroom, unless it is being used for a specific task. Library books no longer suitable for circulation from the media center will be boxed and sent to the warehouse for appropriate re-distribution.
