Good morning LM_NETters! The October 2001 topic for Weed of the Month is: Terrorism. Why Weed Terrorism? The last time there was a great general interest and publishing activity on the topic of terrorism was in the 1970s as a response to airplane hijackings. You may still have some titles from that era. Times have changed tragically. There are limited new titles available now as replacements, but you should weed this area and be prepared to purchase as the publishing industry responds. A brief explanation of Weed of the Month for new LM_NET members: The SUNLINK Weed of the Month began in September, 1997, from an idea by Mike Eisenberg co-owner of LM_NET, and 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. A section of the 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 four years may be found at the same location by scrolling down the menu bar on the left side of the screen. -- Carol McWilliams mcwillia_c@popmail.firn.edu Assistant director, SUNLINK University of Central Florida Orlando, FL =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
