[CASL-L] Interfiling reference collections

[Sara Whalen]

Hi Rachel,

At Hamden High School, we heavily weeded and then interfiled our reference
collection 4 or 5 years ago.  No one noticed. For us, the issue was that
having a print reference collection no longer made a lot of sense since
most reference research is now done online.
