GEN: Weed of the Month Oct. 2003

[Carol McWilliams <mcwillia_c@POPMAIL.FIRN.EDU>]

Good morning LM_NETters!

The October topic for Weed of the Month is: Forensic Science.

Most library media specialists would love to increase their students=B9
non-fiction leisure reading habits. One sure way to do this is to provide
non-fiction reading materials on current subjects of high interest, such as
forensic science. But do you have any titles on this topic? If so, how
current are they? Perry Mason era? Quincy era? Or CSI-ready?

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.)
