Hi Rachel,

At Hamden High School, we heavily weeded and then interfiled our reference collection 4 or 5 years ago.  No one noticed. For us, the issue was that having a print reference collection no longer made a lot of sense since most reference research is now done online.

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!
