I think they are quite useful and I use them a lot for DBQ's......Also, many
of them are written by the "big guys" in the field and they should be kept.

Subject: [LM_NET] Sec: Weeding American History- How Old is Too Old
> When I took over my current position I did a check of collection
> usage. Of the 12,000 items in the collection almost 8,000 had not been
> checked out in at least 5 years so I have been doing some serious weeding.
> This first time though I am not weeding anything no mater how old that has
> been checked out in the last 5 years.
> I have come to the 973s and am in a quandary. We have an
extensive
> collection of materials that are very old. The lion's share are circa.
> 1960-1980. I am also finding a great many materials that are pre 1950.
They
> are primarily scholarly reference type materials that would not circulate
a
> great deal. (March of Democracy by Adams 7 vol, 1933, etc.) How relevant
are
> such materials. My first instinct is to pitch them but they were obviously
> well written and scholarly. They are not primary source materials, their
> condition is only fair and I am not finding anything that is considered
very
> valuable monetarily. I would appreciate comments on their usefulness.
