 * Weeding Assignment Introduction **

The weeding process for this assignment began by looking at the collection analysis completed in previous weeks. In the Dewey ranges chosen for the curriculum focus there are many items not related that need weeding. However, for the purposes of this assignment I have only removed the related items. This will help me as I move into the selection phase of the course. The non-related items have been pulled and will be weeded at a later date. Note: As mentioned in the collection analysis, all of the bibliographic data was imported into the new system in 2007. Therefore, the date acquired for all items shows as 2007. The circulation statistics are also only four years old. These circulations statistics are still useful because if the item has not circulated in the last four years it is likely not to.


 * Technical note:**

Assignment 4 required including the raw data for the weeding process. In presenting the data I was challenged by the limitations of the wiki and my limited wiki management skills. All attempts to create one sequential report failed as the file size was too large, even single pages were too large despite efforts to compress each file. Consequently, I created a temporary blog, uploaded the images there and then I was able to upload the image to the wiki as an external file.
