[LM_NET] Target: Are you still buying foreign language dictionaries?

[Jaclyn Adler/ Kirt Winslow <winsler2003@HOTMAIL.COM>]

Hello -


I am in the midst of weeding and updating my collection, but have a question for 
all of you veterans out there.  My dictionaries are from the late '60s/early '70s.  
I currently have several of them for each language.  Do I buy just one new copy now 
that most students are turning to the internet for their definitions?  Is it a 
waste of money to purchase several new copies of each when it is most likely that 
few students will be using them?  Or am I supposed to be fighting the trend to use 
the internet for definitions (which I don't currently do)?  Please let me know your 
current practice and what you keep in the reference collection.  Thanks!
