Sometimes you need older information.  I still have AACR from 1968 and Winchell's 
guide to reference books. I don't refer to them often, but I have used them many 
times since the courses were completed. The books used for  children's literature 
courses may still be relevant. I recently acquired a book from 1975 with essays on 
what the library of the year 2000 would be like.  I used the book in preparation 
for a talk I gave two weeks ago.  There are scholarly and historical reasons to 
keep the books from your college days.
