April 25, 2006: Scottish University Decides not to Discard Books
"A UNIVERSITY has shelved controversial plans to throw away 22,000 library books after objections from students and academics."
"Dundee University had planned to bin thousands of books because of demands on space, even though a £7.5 million library extension is due to open."
"The about-turn comes after a Dundee economist, Neil Robertson, claimed that he bought a four-volume set from the library for 80p and subsequently found the same books being offered for sale at £1,500 on eBay. "
