well, at my own library, space for materials is such that we need to weed print materials every year. In the maps collection, I weed on an ongoing basis. This is certainly an easier question to answer than what do I weed, and how do I decide? Is that still too vague?

Subject: Collection Development Statement question/suggestion


I'm working on a collection development statement for our "map collection". One of the things I need to do is to indicate when to weed. In effect, I've said that we need to when space changes and when curriculum changes. This isn't specific enough for the group reviewing the document. If you have a collection development statement that indicates how often you should weed, would you let me know your wording?


Thanks
