I need some expert advice, please. Should I keep the old Contemporary
Authors series (by Gale) in my reference section? I have about 115
volumes in the series, ranging from 1964-1994. The previous librarian
evidently stopped buying them in 1995 and I haven't bought any since
taking over in 2000. They get very little use, maybe once a year. I
understand that they could provide a lot of information for a student,
but almost all students will either use the Internet first or some of
the other reference books I have on authors (that are easier to access
the information).
We will be tagging books for security purposes, and inventory, too, if
we move to an RFID system. I cannot see the value in tagging this many
books at a cost of fifty cents per tag (RFID) or the time involved. The
other librarian here, however, does not like the idea of weeding them.
So-HS people, do you still have these volumes? Should I keep them or
weed them? Please note that I cannot afford to add the electronic
database of Contemporary Authors from Gale.
Thank you for your help; it is greatly appreciated! Please respond to me
at jackie.landahl@csd4.k12.mo.us.
