Colleagues,

I am about to embark on a large weeding project of the YP collection in 
a small, liberal arts university library. We have a lot of dated 
material and books in bad condition. Has anyone created a list of quick 
weeding criteria for a collection like this?  I have found many 
references to public libraries, but none for academic.  Any feedback 
would be very welcome.

Kindest regards,

Amanda
