Good morning fellow LM_NETters! The Weed of the Month web pages on November's topic of Fiction have been posted at the following URL: http://www.sunlink.ucf.edu/weed/ The Fiction section in most school library media centers consists of two main types of titles -- classic and leisure interest. Classic titles are easily weeded on the basis of the condition of the item and the physical appeal of the format. Weeding the leisure reading titles is more complicated. Remember that weeding is always subject to your professional judgement. You know your students and your curriculum. The SUNLINK Weed of the Month Club is an effort to help provide School Library Media Specialists with guidelines and suggestions for weeding their collections a little at a time as well as for adding quality materials. Included are sections on how to get started, the rationale for weeding a topic area, criteria to consider, titles to consider for weeding and titles to consider when replacing outdated materials. When you have examined your school's Fiction collection and found titles to weed, please email me at the address below and we will add it to the list (without your name!). The same goes for terrific new Fiction titles (or new versions of beloved classic Fiction) you would like others to discover. Please also share your thoughts on weeding the Fiction collection with your fellow lm_netters! ------ It does not matter how many books you may have, but whether they are good or not. — Lucius Annaeus SENECA (3 B.C.-65 A.D.)
