I Feel the Need to Weed!: Maintaining an E-book Collection

Abstract

An analysis of the latest statistics from public libraries in NSW indicates that the age of library resources is a major factor in their usage. The highest turnover libraries do not necessarily have the best per capita budgets nor the lowest lending libraries the worst per capita budgets. The size of the collections does matter but freshness also matters. This confirms the importance of weeding ageing resources from public library collections. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
