[LM_NET] TARGET: What to do with old encyclopedias?

[Charna Gross <charna51@HOTMAIL.COM>]

My school library has a set of encyclopedias called: The Grolier Student 
Encyclopedia of Endangered Species.  
 
THe copyright is 1995. Isn't this too old? Haven't things changed? 
 
What would you do?
 
Thank you.

>what she learned> from her time working with us:> > "This experience has led me to 
>realize that, of all the librarians in the> United States, school librarians get 
>the shortest, saddest,> under-appreciated end of the stick. They have more hurdles

>thing that shocked me the most was their lack of access to technology.> These 
>wonderful people we were expecting to teach our children about> information can 
>not even access the information themselves. The system is> broken almost beyond 
>repair." -> http://wanderingeyre.com/2007/12/19/school-librarians-are-heroes/> Our

>and use it to excel; how we continue to rise above the> challenges to find 
>solutions instead of getting stuck on problems.> > I was very proud to have played 
>a very small part in helping make this class> a success. We will be releasing the
