Just in Case
This is where you immerse yourself in your collection. Tips:
- Don't do it all at once. Pull for displays, tidy, weed to get to know it. (More weeding tips: from Rebecca Vnuk.)
- When weeding, consider whether a title is circulating, and whether it is definitive.
- Keep your community in mind. Which way should your political books lean? What age, education, and ethnic demographics should you keep in mind?
Ongoing Strategies
- Encourage patron input.
- Cultivate your book/subject network. Be a friend to have one.
