Spotted in the wild:
“As an academic librarian, I am most concerned with weeded [sic.] out any and all outdated information. (Of course I make sure to order the new versions at the same time.) I am the de-factor weeder around here as one of my two bosses can never quite manage to get rid of anything.” from hilarious new website, “Awful Library Books”: http://awfullibrarybooks.wordpress.com/why-we-weed/
If you take out all the other factors, I suppose that would leave only one librarian as de-factor weeder.
