Weeding Project for the Summer

The New York Public Library where I worked from 1983-90 was a library of record, thus nothing could be discarded.  Whenever possible older books and periodicals were preserved.  The NJIT Library supports research and coursework.  This summer I am working on an organized weeding project. We need to make room in the stacks since they are getting tight. A student worker is perusing the stacks in my subject areas of responsibility.  She is removing duplicates of older materials and books that are in poor physical condition.
