This function allows you to prepare a shelf list of resources according to age for possible culling.
- Load the Enquiry Module.
- Select Title and other searches.
- Click on the Range Search in the Advanced Searches box.
- In the Selection field select Publ. Year.
- Any resource older than 20 years should seriously be considered as a possible cull. Enter 1900 in the low value and in the high value enter 1985…Click OK.
- Once the list of resources has been generated check the number of Resources found (top left hand of screen).
- You can re-organise these resources into managable lists by clicking on the Call Number column, use the SHIFT + Left mouse click to select only the Non-fiction (or any other location) you would like to start on.
- Take your list and a book box to the shelves and locate the resources. Carefully consider each item for relevance and content, and if necessary toss it into the book box.
- Once you have a box full take them back to the computer and scan the barcodes into a Buffer file (see Utilities > Setup > Buffer File).
- To cull the items refer to Utilities > Update > Cull Items.
