CMIS Evaluation

There are often queries re weeding the school library, especially at the end of the year, at which time many school libraries engage in this activity. Some library staff members operate on the principle of weeding a section at a time over the course of the whole year. You could establish your own schedule or use one ready-made such as the Heinemann Raintree (USA) Weed of the Month. Each month a section is designated for weeding, along with criteria to be considered to assist in the weeding. Replacement titles are suggested, and though these are biased towards Heinemann-Raintree Library titles, other publishers do get a small look-in. You can join the emailing list if you wish to be notified as each new weed comes around. It’s worth considering.

CMIS Cataloguing and CMIS Evaluation have a page about Weeding on their School Library Support website.
