Hello everyone, I am in my first year at a high school that has a very outdated collection. The average science book in the 500 section was published in the 1970's. I have been spending a lot of time working on the fiction section which was also very old and unappealing. However, I feel the need to work on the non-fiction. (Interestingly, the reference section is very large and current. Apparently that was the focus in the past.) So, I have been searching titlewave, looking to purchase some new science books, but I am quickly becoming overwhelmed. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good way to update a whole section of their collection? Going book by well-reviewed book seems very time- consuming and overwhelming. I did start with the science teachers, who had very little input and don't really seem to use the library at this point. Any advice from anyone who has inherited a very outdated collection would be much appreciated.
