Libraries

I am new to courses in Library Science but have attended many, many library book sales. I am interested in how books are selected for sale and the processes used for deleting books

My tentative Final Project of an annotated bibliography will address the weeding of books from library collections and the issues of destroying information vs storage needs. Is valuable information being lost or merely replaced and updated? Is circulation data a good criteria for eliminating a book? What does love of the author have to do with it?

Any suggestions will be considered...
