Review: State Library of Iowa, Weeding and Maintenance

By
This website is by the State Library of Iowa and gives a short explanation of collection management, and why it is important to both libraries and library patrons. It outlines the conditions that a book should be weeded, such as age, condition, or how long it has been since the book has been checked out. It also outlines the CREW method of weeding, giving an outside link to a more in-depth explanation of the CREW method. The last part of the page focuses on the disposal method that the State Library of Iowa uses, this part is written with slightly more jargon that the first part of the page, though is still fairly readable to an average person. It notes places where the library is or is not allowed to donate their books, for example, the library cannot donate public library books to private organizations even if they are non-profits, and that all discarded books must be sold even if "for a nominal fee". This is an interesting resource and would be more helpful for libr

Website Review: Discover Books

By
A major factor of weeding a collection is what to do with books after they are removed from circulation. This website is dedicated to keeping books out of landfills. To do this they reuse, resell, or recycle books. Libraries can discard books through this company and they will find a place for the books. Collection bins can be placed near a library to routinely dropped off books for collection or can be collected at no cost to the library. This is a great resource for libraries to use to help manage discarded material. The website is easy to use and has information about their program and company readily available. Books can also be purchased directly from the website, if you are looking to buy books. The “How This Works” page has a great infographic describing the process that the company uses to reuse, resell or recycle to keep books out of landfills and help the environment. Overall this is a good website to pass along discarded material. https://www.discoverbooks.com
