  • Throwing Out Belles Lettres with the Bathwater. Miller, J. Wesley Archives Librarians Library Collections Library Material Selection This essay addressing problems of library collection weeding suggests that as countermeasure to damage already done, every public library should establish a substantial American Heritage collection of classic Anglo-American authors up to 1900. Inexperienced librarians, rare books and historic preservation, patron complaints, interlibrary loan, and the ideal weeder are discussed. (EJS)
