This was an interesting lesson in an area I do not know that much about.
The dictionary area of my Reference collection is an area that I need to weed out. Being a French Immersion school, I have French, English and French-English dictionaries. I have quite a few French picture dictionaries that I have shelved in the non-fiction section and children are allowed to check out. This may be the section that I evaluate for Assignment #2. I have English thesauri but none in French - perhaps I should seek out one!
Any handbooks, almanacs and yearbooks that I have are housed in the non-fiction section. Students love the Guiness World Record books and the few almanacs that I have. Should I be keeping these for reference only?
The CultureGrams Online Database looks very interesting, especially given they have the Canadian provinces. However, given that the database is in English, it is of no use to me at a French Immersion school.
