The Weeding Continues


Rather than reviewing the next Dewey section, I am putting up for your consideration a number of large sets we have throughout the reference collection. What should we get rid of and what should we keep. What is worth the space it takes up and what isn't. There are some I think should go, but others of these I'm very opposed to tossing (we are a library, after all). In the interest of not prejudicing your opinion one way or the other, I won't let you know at this point what my thoughts are. I want to know what you think.
Here they are:
Contemporary Authors
Contemporary Literary Criticism
Dictionary of Literary Biography
Short Story Index
American Writers/British Writers
Readers Guide
Book Review Digest
Book Review Index
Current Book Review Citations
NYT Index
Art Index
Thomas Register 2003
As always, this is not only a weeding exercise, it is also to let you know what we have and where it is. If you have forgotten all about a particular set, or never knew we had it in the first place, hm...... What does that say about it's current usefulness.
