[LM_NET] Target: Weeding

[Debra Gniewek <debgniewek@GMAIL.COM>]

Dear LM_Netters,

I think I am about to begin a massive weeding of career books. While the
books are not ancient, the information in terms of salaries, college
tuitions, and job outlook is extremely inaccurate. On the other hand, I have
excellent online databases and websites for career information.



Another librarian suggested to an administrator that these books need not be
discarded, that the inaccurate information could be crossed out or
wite-ed-out. After my eyes popped out of my head at the other librarian's
suggestion, I offered that wite-ing-out parts of a book would be a copyright
violation.


But I think I need a short list of reasons why we weed and discard, and why
we never wite-out the information in a book. I am tempted to go on a lengthy
tirade about this issue and I think I just need a short list for back-up.

Thanks in advance.
