[CASL-L] Biographies section question

[Kenneth Dunaj]

Hi Michele,

As a high school, we keep a good sized Biography collection. It is a
section we try to weed bi-annualy due to student interests and curriculum.
I agree with several of the respondents to your inquiry that the social
studies curriculum and or ELA independent reading opportunities are
typically when our Biography/memoir collection is accessed by student
patrons. I find that eBooks are only used by students for summer reading
options if the print is not available.

Best,

Ken
