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weeding and titles to consider when replacing outdated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!
