| Summary: | ABSTRACT
The process of de-acquisition and weeding is based on the same selection criteriaas acquisition of library materials and requires profound knowledge and understanding of a library collection. The author presents the methodology and the process of weeding and de-acquisition at the University Library of Maribor. The case study is the project „The Written-Offs“. The lights and art works made out of damaged books exhibited in this project attracted a lot of media and public attention. The results and experiences drawn from the project „The Written-Offs“ show a possible way to promote libraries.
