Hi all-

ERIC News has just released information about ERIC fiche digitized - see
below screen shot. Has anyone begun weeding ERIC fiche because they are
now digitized and available online?  If anyone is already doing so, are
there hints/suggestions you can share?

Many thanks-

2. Now that ERIC is digitizing microfiche and releasing documents
online, our library would like to weed the ERIC microfiche collection.
What fiche should we discard?
As ERIC makes further progress with digitizing materials from
microfiche, libraries may choose to weed their collection of microfiche
documents that are now available online. ERIC provides the following
information to support your microfiche management efforts:

*	Lists of ERIC record numbers for documents now available online,
which may be used for weeding the collection. Lists are compatible with
most spreadsheet software. Please note that although it is a rare
occurrence to reverse a permissions decision, copyright-holders do have
the right to withdraw permission for online dissemination

	*	Documents produced in microfiche and authorized for
electronic dissemination in the years 1993-2004:
