[LM_NET] Print vs. Nonprint References

[Ken/Gina Sigl <kensigl@COX.NET>]

What is the the best strategy for building and maintaining the middle school 
reference collection with shrinking library budgets?  Should a Library Media 
Specialist purchase print, nonprint, or both?  I would prefer to have both types of 
references, print and nonprint, available for the students; however, diminishing 
library funds forces the debate.  How should library funds be spent on print and 
nonprint references?  Which is better for the students?  Print?  Nonprint?
