I have weeded over 900 books which is a fraction of what needs
to go. While realizing that everybody's collection is unique
to the school and that needs vary, I am still curious how you
would go about evaluating what is needed in your library. My
superintendent has spent a lot of money on AR at the lower
grades, so I have asked him to allot money to the high school
library because I would like to get rid of 30+ year old books
and the "orange" rebound ones that no one will check out. Then
there are the 10 to 15 year old books in technology, fashion,
etc. that are out of date as well. I am supposed to give him
a "priortized" list of must haves with a projected cost. I
have gotten a selection list from Mackin (they are nice
people) and am working on that. We have about 10,000 volumes
and are a high school of 850 students. I look forward to
hearing your suggestions.
