Abstract
In August 2021 Southwestern Oklahoma State University Hired a new Collection Management Librarian. One of the first tasks assigned to this new librarian was to start a weeding project on the main collection. It quickly became evident that the previous policy did not meet the needs of the library or university. This article describes the analysis of the previous deselection policy, and the decision process for changing the previous policy. The paper will further discuss how the CREW methodology was chosen as the new policy, and how it was implemented.
