I need some advice about weeding. We are doing a big project to severely weed our reference collection. There's not much space in our stacks or off-campus storage for circulating books as it is. I would like to know your thoughts on keeping older editions of important large sets like Benezit and the Lexikon der Kunst. Do you generally keep all editions? Or do you think it's all right to free up space by keeping only the most recent? 

thanks for your help,
