Sponsored by the California State University Librarians (CSUL) Interest Group North and South

New technology has yet to save us from the need for the old-time task formerly known as weeding. Join us as we take a practical, nuts-and-bolts look at how it is done. We will explore policies, planning, goal-setting, decision-making, getting faculty agreement/participation/involvement, using collective cataloging arrangements, using the OPAC to generate lists of candidates for weeding, de-cataloging, and the disposition of weeded materials.
