AV Weeding Project

Most of our audio-visual materials are shelved in the compact shelving on the third floor. Many of these items contain old, out-of-date information or are in formats that are rarely, if ever, used these days (slide tape shows for example). We have started a project to review these items and to remove those that have no archival or educational value. Dave will be reviewing these titles and many will be weeded with help from the IS Desk Staff and our shelvers, our Knowledge River students and the Collection Services Department. Dave estimates that as much as 80% of these items will be weeded. We hope to recycle much of the paper and plastic.
