[Publib] Date Critical Nonfiction

[Victoria Kemp]

The CREW method addresses this:        

http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/pubs/crew/   

In particular, the pages focusing on weeding by DDC, beginning on page
49.      

FWIW

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

I am curious how other libraries determine what dewey categories/topics
are date critical?  Which ones need to have 70% or more of the holdings
published in the last 3-5 years?  Which ones need to have 70% or more of
the holdings published in the last 10 years?  Are these areas different
for adult material and juvenile material?  

 

If I get enough responses I will compile them for the list

 

Thanks!

Kathryn
