Collection Maintenance and Weeding | Tools, Publications & Resources Selection & Reconsideration Policy Toolkit for Public, School, & Academic Libraries Regardless of the type of institution, collection maintenance and weeding are important components of a library’s collection management system and are often related to the goals and mission of the organization. Regardless of format, an optimal library collection is one that is reviewed on a consistent basis for accuracy, currency, usage, diversity, and subject area gaps. When evaluating print or another tangible medium, collection maintenance usually involves the continual care of the materials, including accurate and efficient shelving (and re-shelving), shelf-reading, shifting, and cleaning. With digital materials, collection maintenance includes consideration of continued sufficient coverage of databases or other electronic reference sources, checking for dead or broken links and evaluating these links for accuracy, currency, and relevancy.

Youth Services Librarianship - Special Needs Youth: This project "provides students with an opportunity to think more deeply about some of the unique challenges and opportunities of working with young people in both school and public libraries." The term "special needs youth" covers a diverse group of children and teens. At the most basic level, it refers to any nontraditional or disadvantaged populations. These are patrons who are marginalized in their communities such as teen parents, youth in foster care, homeless teens and runaways, homeschooled students, and members of the LGBTQ community as well as people with disabilities. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, approximately 13% of youth (aged 3-21) are identified as having a disability,[1] which can include physical disabilities, visual impairments, hearing impairments, learning disabilities (e.g. dyslexia), cognitive disabilities, intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities (e.g. autism spectrum disorders), and mental illness. They can be congenital (i.e. present from birth) or acquired, and can be visible (e.g. readily apparent to the casual observer) or invisible (e.g. not identifiable unless explicitly disclosed).
