[LM_NET] SUNLINK Weed of the Month for September 2005

[baumbach_d <baumbach_d@POPMAIL.FIRN.EDU>]

Greetings, fellow LM_NETters, and welcome to a new school
year!

The SUNLINK Weed of the Month topic for September  is
"Volcanoes and Earthquakes." 

Earthquakes and volcanoes have been in the news recently
with renewed interest due to the devastating tsunami
resulting from the Indonesia earthquake in December 2004.
Statistically, earthquakes and volcanoes have not increased
over the years, but media coverage and public attention has
been on the increase. Take advantage of this new interest
and refresh your collection in this area.


For information on criteria, a rationale, suggested titles
to consider for weeding, and titles to consider for
purchase, go to this section of the SUNLINK web site:

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.  A section of a school library media collection is
identified each month during the school year as a weeding
target. 

Please note:  If you've used SUNLINK Weed of the Month in
the past, you'll notice a new format we hope you'll like. 
Also a downloadable version of this month's weeding topic is
available in PDF.  Past weeding topics are archived;
however, our website is under revision and not all topics
are currently available.  Stay tuned!
