Subject: Documenting Weeding on Follett
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,
