[OPLINLIST] FW: CREW: A Weeding Manual for Modern Libraries - Updated and Revised Version Now Available

[Ruth Metcalf]

HELLO EVERYONE!

 

I thought you might be interested in the following announcement on an
updated version of the CREW manual: 

 

The Library Development Division of the Texas State Library is very
pleased to announce an updated and revised version of the CREW method
written by Jeanette Larson!

For more than 30 years, The CREW Method has provided guidance to
librarians and staff in small and medium sized public libraries about
how to cull outdated and no longer useful materials from their
collections. Since its inception in 1976, The CREW Method has become the
benchmark tool for weeding library collections. It has been more than a
decade since the first revised edition brought technology and online
catalogs into the process. This new edition, called CREW: A Weeding
Manual for Modern Libraries, builds on the work of Joseph P. Segal and
Belinda Boon. Although much of the basic information remains the same,
the impact of changes in technology and its effect on library
collections has been taken into consideration. The CREW guidelines by
Dewey Class have been expanded even further and updated to reflect
current practices. New sections have been added that explain in more
detail the MUSTIE factors and types of disposal. The bibliography has
been updated to include current editions of standard works, contemporary
selections, and expanded online resources.
