[Michlib-l] Weeding

[FRU Director]

Good afternoon, everyone.

I have a question about weeding.  It isn't a task I am tackling or looking to 
tackle soon.  It has been in the back of my mind for a while; and I want to be 
prepared and have a plan.

My library is very small; and my shelves are full of books, the vast majority 
of which are 2015 and newer.  My collection is only about 2 years old.  
Normally, I would use the usual criteria (lack of use; poor physical condition; 
glut, etc.); but I am unsure about using them, given the age of the collection. 
 
If you were, or have been, in my shoes, what criteria would you use for 
selecting books for weeding out of this young collection when the time comes?
