Good morning LM_NETters! The November topic for Weed of the Month is: Evolution. Today, many state departments of education have removed the word =B3evolution= =B2 from their state curriculum standards and replaced it with more vague terminology such as =B3change over time.=B2 As sensitive as this topic is in many localities, be sure the titles in your collection are current, critically approved, educationally sound, and defendable should a challenge arise. 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 may be found at the same location by scrolling down the menu bar on the left side of the screen. It does not matter how many books you may have, but whether they are good o= r not. -- Lucius Annaeus SENECA (3 B.C.-65 A.D.)
