e. Geography (G-GR)

Books in this subject area become
outdated rapidly and shall be weeded if new
items are available.

f. Athletics (GV)

Superseded rulebooks and outdated
instructional materials should be weeded if new
items are available.

g. Social Science (H-HA)

Interdisciplinary needs shall be considered
when weeding since books in these subject areas
tend to be used in supportive nature and shall
not be analyzed according to circulation figures,
but unless they have historical approach, they
are of little use after five years. Books on finance
are outdated sooner than five years so they can
be weeded out first.

h. Economics (HB-HJ)

Timelines of research, value of material,
number of sources on topic, age of source,
circulation, number of copies, whether it is part
of a set or not and physical condition shall be
considered first before weeding. Primary works
by distinguished economists and books on
economics with interdisciplinary contribution to
geography, history, management, social science
and international affairs shall be retained.

i. Sociology (HM-HX)

Titles of books superseded by a later
edition and have low circulation activity shall be
weeded. Physical condition of the books should
also be taken into consideration when weeding.
