This might sound like a ridiculous question,but I will ask it.  Given the 
fact that in pre-automated era we relied on the circulation card to weed 
fiction in addition to other criteria, what are some procedures and ideas to 
weed FIC tion with an automated  library?  I have a four year old  opening 
day collection with Athena 9.3 as the automation program.  I do not know all 
of the ins/outs..bells/whistles of Athena, so there may be a feature that 
will do this for me. If there is I will welcome the details , steps,  and 
where the feature is located in the program

Most of my fiction books are A.R. but I am getting very tight on shelf space 
...the FIC fiction that is....Easy is getting there also. Weeding easy for 
me is much easier. The FIC is another ballgame.

How are others weeding fiction in the automation age??!  Is the task 
subjective?

Thank you for your replies.
