Weeding Filmstrips

[Mary Ludwick <ludwick@SWBELL.NET>]

I agree with someone's suggestion to wait until you have been at a school
for a year or two.  This gives you an idea of what your faculty actually
uses.
      I weeded all but 5 two years ago.  Certain teachers use these on a
regular basis.  I put all the discards in the lounge with a sign that said
they had not been checked out in years and were going to the trash unless
someone wanted them.  A few disappeared to faculty closets the rest went to
the trash.

Little known fact: "Don't Mess With Texas" is an
anti-litter campaign slogan.
