[LM_NET] weeding a library that is not your own

[Amy Ipp <LU83@AOL.COM>]

Dear Colleagues,
I have an opportunity this summer to weed a library that is not my own. I  am 
experienced with weeding and actually enjoy doing it. However, it will be  
quite a different experience to weed a library that is not mine. For non-fiction 
 I know to look for copyright dates, dated photographs, oudated information 
(esp  in science and world events), and general condition of the books.
 
For fiction I will look at condition of books, dated covers  and  authors 
that no longer appeal to students.
In general, I will need to know the curriculum of the school, budget for  new 
purchases, grade level of the school, and any other general parameters  
provided by the librarian.
 
I would appreciate any hints or suggestions in addition to the ones  
mentioned above.
 
Thank you,
 
Amy Ipp
