I'm going to do my first 'real' weeding today, joining the AWK weeding team in Bouctouche.
Why? I've been trying to create some Symphony custom reports to assist in the weeding process, with only some success. Some of the tools have been somewhat useful (a report to identify copies in part of a collection that are the last copy in the provincial collection; a report to identify titles of which the library has multiple copies even if they are of different editions), but others have missed their mark.
NEED MOAR DATA!
Today, I'll take part in a real weed to observe the weeder in his natural habitat, get a feel for the types of criteria and processes they use, and if there are any ways that the automated system can help.
Should be fun :-)
