EVALUATION PLAN FOR SCHOOL LIBRARY COLLECTION

• Count the number of books in the section being evaluated
• Print out report on circulation statistics
• Subtract the number of books older than 10 years and weed if necessary
• Inspect the remaining books for wear and tear and weed/replace in necessary
• Assess the reading level of the books
• Assess the relevance of the books in regards to the curriculum needs
• Collaborate with teachers on the need for specific resources

This would be the steps I would be taking in evaluating the collection. My school does not have an up-to-date collection due to changes in staffing. I am hoping to be able to evaluate the collection and do some much needed weeding!
