[LM_NET] TARGET: (brand new) older reference books

[Kimberly Brosan <kbrosan@WASD.ORG>]

In a last ditch cleaning frenzy while I’ve got my school to work student here 
still, we went through bookshelves full of un-processed materials and still sealed 
boxes. I found probably $1500 worth of unprocessed reference and award-winning 
books (from the late 80s and early 90s). I don’t even know what to do about them! 
Some look useful. There are the multicultural reference books Reference Library of 
Black America, Hispanic America, etc. with mid-90s copyrights.

I never cease to be amazed by what I find. I can’t even tell for sure that the 
items were ever paid for by the district. I guess since they’re not banging down 
the door I’ll assume that they were, but a few of the sets was in a box addressed 
to be returned to the publisher. What would you do? Should I add them to the 
collection? Should I contact the publisher?
