 RE: "And that the teacher who had requested the encyclopedia (the 1961 =
set
I weeded!) is mad that I got rid of it."=20

Might want to mention that to many of your kids, a book about the first =
Gulf
War (1990-1) would be considered history..... =20

Might be worth mentioning that many of the databases (Ebsco, ProQuest,
elibrary) provide access to encyclopedias, some to more than one set, =
some
specialized ones (science) also. Could be well worth the money for =
school to
provide that access to the kids. And home access is available.
Encyclopedias, full text search of books and magazines, 24/7.
