[SEO-Members] Reference material

[Michele Raine]

Hi, Kelli,
I share your pain.  I have held onto some reference works until space needs
forced us to weed them.
Several years before I joined the staff most of the reference collection
was made into circulating items.  They languished on the shelves until lack
of use made us finally weed them.
The reference materials that do the best as circulating materials are in
the 200s.
Unless the reference materials are almost new, I haven't found any
university libraries willing to take them.
I am forcing our staff to keep American National Biography and the
Encyclopedia of Religion.
Best of luck!
Michele
