Hi Leah. We also have that book, and kept it because of the lengthy bibliography (280 p.), amongst other reasons. Our users are serious art researchers though: professors, authors, grad art students, curators, whose in-depth art research does involve older publications. The book may be useful for your university students, if they are majoring in art.
We also have Swan’s “Art Information and the Internet: How to Find It, How to Use It” (1999), which may be a useful addition.
Hope this helps,

Subject: Art Information Research Methods and Resources
Hello Collective Wisdom,
I am weeding the 707 section of our library right now.
I have Lois Swan Jones 'Art Information: Research Methods and Resources'
3rd edition. I'm wondering if you would keep this book, or if there is a
newer book that would be worth purchasing to replace/or add to the
collection.
I work in the Fine Arts department of Saskatoon Public Library. Most of our
users would be working professionals, high school students, and a first or
second year university students.
Thanks for your help,
Leah Bruce
Fine Arts Coordinator
