If you have the time and are in desperate need of a grant to keep your leaning commons collection moving forward, then the purchase price of this book may be worth the investment. However, you are going to have to spend hours going through each entry of sources and check off the possibilities. Perhaps one person could do this at the district level and share the information with all the schools. Grants are listed here for all types of libraries and the advantage is that you can see actually how much money the granting institution has given to various types of grants in the various types of libraries. So, you know whether or not you even have a chance before you submit. This is the type of printed reference book that is headed for extinction. The index is poor and one wants to be able to search this information with a Boolean search so that precious time is not wasted. Better to pay for a database that can be kept up to date as opposed to a source that is out of date before it is printed. With that warning and knowing the time investment, the reader can decide whether a purchase is appropriate.
