Target: Vertical Files

["Nancy O'Donnell" <ODonn247@MSN.COM>]

I am beginning my second year at a K-5 school and I inherited an extensive
vertical file from the previous LMS. During the past school year, students
used books, magazines, CD-ROMs and the Internet for their various research
projects. The vertical file was the never used. Should I throw everything out
and start my own file? Are CD-ROMS and the Internet replacing vertical files?
How important is maintaining a vertical file at the elementary level? Thanks
for your help.
