Weed this!

Description:

This handwritten and collaged zine stresses the importance of weeding library collections, and gives reasons why deselection is important. This zine also provides multiple criteria upon which books can be evaluated, such as obsolescence or how often they're checked out, and encourages discussion on which books should be weeded out of a collection. Thompson gives the URL for the Awful Library Books Blog and a list of resources.
