This book could be a useful tool for someone new to the library field who has an interest or a need to learn about the weeding process. - Technical Services Quarterly Drawing upon an extensive background as a public librarian, a leader of weeding projects in public and school libraries, a library educator and staff development consultant, and an author in the literature on both sides (public services and technical services) of the library house, Francisca Goldsmith gives us a clear, readable Crash Course in Weeding Library Resources. Her skillful blending of practical how-to and philosophical why-to makes the book more educational than a guidebook, yet more concrete than a collection development textbook. It will be useful for anyone involved in weeding, but most useful to those readers responsible for designing and leading weeding projects, those in public libraries, and those wishing for education as well as instruction. - Technicalities
