From School Library Journal

This helpful guide encourages even the most fearful librarians to tackle the daunting task of weeding through careful and regular analysis. Based upon the SUNLINK Weed of the Month project, it begins by addressing the rationale behind the process, as well as many excuses for avoiding the task. Other chapters include a discussion of guidelines, like the CREW ("Continuous Review, Evaluation, and Weeding") method, with a review of other important criteria. One section provides criteria for weeding in 71 areas, arranged by Dewey number. Final chapters attend to pertinent details of finishing the process. Web resources, an appendix of weeding criteria in table format that includes ideal and maximum number of years for the various subject areas, and an alphabetical and Dewey index conclude this invaluable, succinctly written resource.—Susan Shaver, Hemingford Public Schools, NE

Possibly one of the least-favorite tasks of any school library media specialist is weeding. However, it is essential. Based on the nationally recognized Weed of the Month program, this outstanding, easy-to-use guide makes weeding realistic and achievable. Beginning with a discussion on what weeding is and why it is important, the first chapter makes it very clear that there are no excuses not to weed. Next, general guidelines are presented, including models and helpful hints. The third chapter provides information on timing, including how to make that first step. The major part of the book focuses on specific criteria for 71 subjects. Arranged in order of corresponding primary Dewey numbers, this chapter shows what to consider when weeding materials in each area. The final chapters cover the role of automation and offer general tips. This is an indispensable resource for every school library. Heather Heyduk
