===== Weeding collections =====
[[https://www.tsl.texas.gov/ld/pubs/crew/index.html | CREW: A weeding manual for modern libraries]] CREW stands for Continuous Review, Evaluation, and Weeding. The CREW method gives six general criteria for considering weeding an item from the collection which are summarized with the acronym MUSTIE.
  *  M = Misleading—factually inaccurate
  *  U = Ugly – worn beyond mending or rebinding
  *  S = Superceded – by a new edition of/or by a much better book on the subject
  *  T = Trivial – of no discernible literary or scientific merit
  *  I = Irrelevant to the needs and interests of the library’s community
  *  E = Elsewhere – the material is easily obtainable from another library
