SUMMARY:Weeding Popular Materials Collections
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to books\, we all like to buy! However\, selecting materials is only half of the collection development process. Book hoarding does not create a useful collection. Weeding\, or deselecting materials\, must receive equal and continuous attention as selection to have a truly patron-driven collection that serves its community. \n\n\n\nAs increasing demands tax libraries’ limited resources\, every item in a physical collection must justify its shelf space; while every item\, both physical and digital\, vies for patrons’ time and attention. We’ll discuss practical advice for weeding popular materials collections for youth and adults across formats. Along the way\, I’ll debunk some popular weeding excuses. \n\n\n\nUpon completion\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\narticulate to internal and external stakeholders that weeding is equally as important as selection to collection development\n\n\n\nimplement logical\, rigorous weeding doctrines within popular materials collections\n\n\n\nweed to create space for new collections\, highlight materials\, and increase circulation with confidence\n\n\n\npromote patron driven collection policies and revitalize collections\n\n\n\n\nWho will benefit from this program: \n\n\n\n\nAll staff that interacts with the collection and the public\n\n\n\nStaff who select for the collection\n\n\n\nStaff who maintain the collection\n\n\n\n\nAbout the presenter: Karen Toonen is the Collection Services Manager at Naperville Public Library\, the second-highest circulating public library in Illinois. Throughout her time as a Readers Advisory Assistant\, an Adult Services Librarian\, and in Technical Services\, Karen has remained focused on collections. She has presented extensively on weeding and other collection development aspects at the regional\, state\, and national level. Her service on the Adult Reading Round Table’s Steering Committee has not only allowed her to learn about weeding from colleagues across northern Illinois\, but also informed her philosophy that weeding and readers advisory go hand in hand.
