Weeding
From CARLI
IL Law Changes Regarding Weeded Materials in Illinois Academic Libraries:
The Governor, in Summer 2009, signed Illinois House Bill 49 (now Public Act 96-0498), which will permit state-supported academic libraries to sell their withdrawn materials or to donate them to a much larger group of organizations. Because of the way that the statute had been written, many public academic libraries in Illinois had been throwing away their withdrawn materials.
Dane Ward, Associate Dean for Public Services at Illinois State University and former Chair of the CARLI Public Services Working Group worked closely with State Representative Dan Brady on the legislation.
