Subject: Should "Reference Materials" be on a retention schedule?

  Good afternoon,
   
  I'm curious as to whether many of you include a records series called
"Reference Materials" on your retention schedules? As a long-time RM
professional I've seen this kind of records series on a number of
schedules, but I've also heard and been a part of many discussions as to
whether it's appropriate to include them since they're not usually
company records. Now when I think of reference materials I'm not talking
about phone books, encyclopedias, or magazines, but rather unique, hard
to find, and most often "dated" reference materials that might be used
as support a record that your company creates or produces.
   
  Or, should a retention schedule only include those unique records that
your organization actually creates or produces?
   
  As usual, any and all comments are greatly appredciated.
   
  Thanks.
  Earl
