You’ve asked for it, and we’re answering … one of our most-often requested training topics is weeding (the systematic renewal of collections by getting rid of materials no longer needed in your library). In this session, Becky Heil will introduce librarians to some best practices of weeding collections. We’ll cover how and why we weed, and make sure you have the resources you need to be successful tackling that next big weeding project.
Collection Cultivation is a four-part series from the State Library of Iowa designed to give public librarians an overview of maintaining their library collections through weeding. We’ll cover some basics, dig deeper into cleaning your adult and YS collections, and hear best practices from library practitioners. Attend one or all of the sessions! Each will be recorded.
