We are interested in starting a collection of multimedia CD's and would
like to pose several questions to members of the listserv hoping someone
may have some answers. We are a municipal library with two branches.
We serve a population of approx. 52,000 along with being a resource for
a seven country library system. Our questions are:
1. What is a good size for a start-up collection of multimedia CD's?
2. What would be a good growth size - do we aim for 2,000, 5,000 - less
or more? (We are only planning on providing educational type CD-rom
products.)
3. For those of you with established collections, how much do you
budget per year and what do you use as an average cost per item?
Any answers would be appreciated. Please reply directly to me.
