[CCBC-Net] weeded books

I hate to say this, but after a few years at B. Dalton and with the Library, the idea of throwing out used-up books or with little informational value is no longer as repugnant to me as it once was. However, the Library system I now work at sends our discards and un-usable donations to a recycling center.

A good site for weeding can be found at:

http://www.sunlink.ucf.edu/weed/

It's not only helpful, but humorous as well. It's not been updated since 1997, but the information is being kept on the web for people like us who need a little extra incentive.

I'd also recommend reading over this site, but warning, 'tis satire!

enjoy!
