Collection Development Action Project

I liked putting this project together because I was able to learn some important things about weeding. During our last class session we had a visitor, Karen Lowe, to come show us how to weed through our collection. She has a chart that she made that shows every area of the Dewey Decimal system. Each section is broken down into the smaller sections..for example the 520s, then the 530s....Then we are to look on the chart at what years books should be discarded and what books should be kept, and what books are useful. This little chart helped us when weeding our own shelf list for our action projects. She also gave us some criteria to determine what should be weeded and criteria for selecting replacements. All of this helpful info was put together in her resource alignment book. I worked on the 520s section for my project. I should be finished with the project tomorrow and ready to turn in!! I can't believe we're almost finished with this semester!!
