Good afternoon LM_NETters!

The January 2001 topic for Weed of the Month is: Civil Rights.

Demand for civil rights materials remains solid over the years (due to
both school assignments and personal interest) but the focus of civil
rights continues to change over the years. Is your collection
representing only the civil rights focus of the 1960s and 1970s? Update
and add to your collection for today's students.

A brief explanation of Weed of the Month for new LM_NET members: The
SUNLINK Weed of the Month began in September, 1997, as an effort to help
provide Florida's School Library Media Specialists with guidelines and
suggestions for weeding their collections a little at a time as well as
adding quality materials. The project idea and specific suggestions came
from media specialists around the world via LM_NET, and SUNLINK's Weed
of the Month parallels a similar effort taking place throughout the
country. A section of a school library media collection is identified
each month during the school year (September through May) as a weeding target.

For more information, including guidelines for weeding this area,
suggested titles to examine, and possible titles to consider for
purchase, go to http://www.sunlink.ucf.edu/weed/  .The current topic, as
well as the archives of previous Weed of the Month topics for the past
three years may be found at the same location by scrolling down the menu
bar on the left side of the screen.
