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. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
