I think there is no such calculated method , only depends upon the observation of circulation pattern , interest of client , position of the books , subject matter covered by them and al things like this will only help anyone to find out the appropriate books to be weeded out.

The suggestion is of my personal observation , tell if u found this helpful .

This is exactly what we have been doing in our college.  We are studying the frequency of usage of books before deciding them fit for being weeded out.  But our experience is that - books that were not useful yesteryears and hence were made inactive are all of a sudden being demanded by the students!

The other problem is when a subject expert is involved in weeding out process - in most of the cases we have found that whatever books the experts have recommended not be weeded out are never utilised by the students even in four or five years time period.   The experts just try to play it safe.  It is ultimately we who have to face the paucity of space.

Exactly......so just use your brain .....don't include any subject expert , they will play safe for their sake......keep 2 copies of each title which are not been read , n left outs should be kept in stores in bundles with lists on them , so if required they could be taken out easily n be included in main stream...... :)

There is anything Rules or regulations from AICTE or UGC for weed out of books

Generally GFR Rules applied for Govt. libraries.
