Sorry if this has already been discussed before, but I have just renewed
my membership on this list after a lapse of several years.

Question:  wouldn't it be better to retain books which were once on the
books for small/medium-sized library lists and have been removed than to
keep the many books which never made the lists???  Is this too simplistic
a way to weed?  Or, doesn't weeding involve a number of criteria
determined by the library doing the weeding?
