Weeding Updates for May 2022

In early May, Maroadi transferred 252 boxes from Tech Services to offsite. The boxes contained 4,500 books that were weeded from HL2. Over the next several weeks, Aryn will unpack the boxes and shelve the books at offsite,,,THANKS Aryn! The weeding of HL2 will continue throughout May and June. If anyone has some time to devote to the Hunt Library Weeding Project, please see Gloria.

Terrence has begun weeding the collection at Sorrells. Titles will be discarded (shipped to Better World Books) or transferred to offsite. After the weeding of Sorrells has been completed, time will be devoted to weeding the collection at Mellon Institute.
