[CASL-L] reference collections

[Tracy Earnshaw]

​This is my Reference Room.  It's beautiful and my only classroom space.
It is also used for meetings.  If I toss the books, I'll probably lose the
space.  Not sure what else to put on those shelves.  Anyone else in a
similar position?  I don't really need those fifteen-year-old encyclopedias
in the back!  It's too small for the fiction or non-fiction.  I'd have to
just put some of the non-fiction in there, but it would be harder to
justify holding on to the room.  A makerspace would never fly.  It would
become an AD's office or a career center.
