Re: Use/Misuse of Wilson's

[Su Epstein <SuE@GFACADEMY.ORG>]

As I feel strongly about this, I thought I'd apply to the whole...
        I also entered a library where the general practice and rule was
- if it's not in Wilson's then it's ok to weed and if it's not in
Wilson's think twice about ordering it.
        I DO NOT abide by this.
        Wilson is great, and I consult it, but I do not always agree
with Wilson, and know b/c of my own subject specialty areas, that Wilson
is not the highest or best authority.
