[LM_NET] Documenting Weeding on Follett

["G.W. Geiger" <bookspice@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Hello,
 
Although I have never been asked to show a list of weeded books to our Board of 
Trustees in my 5 years as district librarian, it has been my understanding that 
keeping a list is required by district policy.  (Yes, I am looking everywhere to 
see if this is written down somewhere.)
 
Over the years, I have had the library information specialists at each of the 
school sites make a bookbag with the books that they are discarding before they 
take them out of the Follett system.  At the end of the year, they send me either a 
paper copy or a text file with this bookbag of weeded titles.  
 
This is cumbersome and still unsatisfactory because it doesn't give the price of 
each book deleted.  Is there a simple(r) way on Follett to create such a list of 
weeded titles that has prices on it?  I suppose I could just rewrite the policy on 
weeding and ask the Board to okay it, so we don't have to do this at all, but I 
would actually like to know what is being discarded, in case I have to defend these 
decisions someday.
 
What is your practice for documenting your weeds, if you have one?  I'll post a hit 
if there's any interest in this topic.
 
Thank you,
