I heavily weeded and interfiled about 8 years ago, mostly so I could reconfigure my shelves to create a large area for computers.  All my  reference, except encyclopedias and dictionaries, became circulating materials.  They check out like any other book.  Occasionally,  a student asks about the red label covers, left over from before.

Hi all,

I am in the process of once again examining our collection as we move to restructure a very large media center space to meet the changing needs of our students in the 21st century.

I have a question: how many of you have dispersed, heavily weeded or interfiled your reference collection so that ALL the books in the Dewey classification are in the same area?

If you have made such a move, have you had any feedback from students or teachers, good or bad? Anecdotal evidence to support or dissuade?

Thanks so much!
