We are actually right in the middle of a massive weeding project here at UTC, and my Web Tech librarian, Andrea Schurr (whom some of you probably met at C4L this year) built a really cool system to handle it. We aren't using ajax (although I argued for it, she talked me out of it). However, our project necessitates feedback from subject faculty, so it has the ability to allow for the Chemistry faculty, for example, to review the discard list, mark items to keep, and that list is then further reviewed by Library liaisons to make sure the faculty aren't just telling us to keep everything. :-) It's all pre-populated with our bib data. She's on vacation this week, but the plan is to open-source the setup asap. If anyone is interested, drop me a line and I'll make sure and let you know when we get it up.
