Weeding Tools and Resources
Follett just posted a how-to tutorial for using Titlewave weeding tools and resources. It also discusses best practices, advocacy and tips if you are new to weeding.
Destiny users can connect their collection to Titlewave and generate several reports that will help you advocate for the library and meet your goals in collection development. It generates a list of possible weeds based on criteria you set (circulations, date acquired, dewey, sections, publication date, etc.)
Titlewave uses CREW and MUSTIE processes in their programming.
