Good morning LM_NETters! The Weed of the Month web pages on March's topic of Drug and Alcohol Education have been posted at the following URL: http://www.sunlink.ucf.edu/weed/ Previous topics for the last two years and a half years are archived at this location. There is no question that information on drug and alcohol education is critically needed in all our schools. But even more critical is the need for current and relevant information. Students tend to look to their peers instead of adults for "real world" information on drugs and alcohol. Don't reinforce that tendency by keeping outdated and/or inaccurate information in your collection! When you have examined your school's Drug and Alcohol Education Collection and found titles to weed, please email me at the address below and we will add them to the list (without your name!). The same goes for terrific new Drug and Alcohol Education titles you would like others to discover. 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for weeding a topic area, criteria to consider, titles to consider for weeding and titles to consider when replacing outdated materials. These suggested lists are neither comprehensive nor authoritative. You may agree or disagree with some of the titles. That's fine! You may have a more recent edition or version of a title that you would never consider weeding. Remember that weeding is always subject to your professional judgment because you know your students and your curriculum. ------ 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.)
