Dear colleagues,
I would like to know if there is anybody out there who has actually devised
a method for counting library usage, that is, usage of books both inside
and outside the library. The reason I am asking is because while our
checkout statistics are going down, the library is obviously a whole lot
more used recently, but we have a hard time proving it, or linking it to
collection development decisions.
Please respond to me, unless other people are interested in the issue.
PS. Does anybody know how I could subscribe onto a "Public
Services-Circulation" listserv?
Thanks you very much for your help
