REF: Encyclopedia Purchase

[GeorgeAnne Draper <GDRAPER@WYNNE1.CRSC.K12.AR.US>]

I am now working on my purchases and am in a quandary about
encyclopedias.  The media specialist before me had a "schedule" for
purchasing encyclopedias, but other purchases have "preempted" that
schedule.  We are a high school of 850 students and we have the
following encyclopedias:
         1995 Britannica (print)
         1996 Britannica CD networked
         1993 World Book
         1989 World Book
         1992 Academic American
         1988 Academic American
         1990 Encyclopedia Americana
         1992 Collier's

I know that we need more current encylopedias, but it is a big
expenditure.  Do you have a schedule for purchasing encyclopedias?
How many sets do you have?  For us,the World Book is the one used
most. The others aren't very worn, but the World Book is getting
very worn.
I would love to hear what your polices are regarding encyclopedia
purchase.  Again, thanks for your wonderful advice.
