There was a recent query on this list re
the meaning of the acronym CREW.
CREW is a weeding process first described in
"Evaluating and Weeding Collections in Small
and Medium-sized Public Libraries: The CREW
Method" by Joseph P. Segal, published by the
American Library Association in 1980.
CREW stands for Continuous Review,
Evaluation, and Weeding.
Hope this is of use.
Kind regards,
Grace-Ellen McCrann, M.L.S.
