Systematic Weeding: A Report on the Weeding Project of the Kenosha Public Library

If you are a gardener, you know the value of weeding. If you are a librarian, you may not. Utilizing CETA funds, the much-needed systematic weeding of the entire collection of the main branch of the Kenosha Public Library System was undertaken in 1978. Certain values of such a project, and certain systematic procedures to accomplish it, crystalized in our minds during the six months needed to perform the task. This report has been written to share the knowledge we gained with all interested librarians.
