I, too, am interested in this subject as I am doing my master's thesis
on the the turnover rate of a collection as it relates to its relative
age. If there is anyone out there who knows of studies done on
determining the appropriate age of a collection as it relates to its
category, I would appreciate that information very much. My study
will involve a number of public libraries, I am trying to determine if
the most current collections are the ones with the highest
circulation.

From: Mary Munroe <C60MHM1_at_wpo.cso.niu.edu>
Years ago, in her first manual for the use of the WLN conspectus, Mary
Bushing postulated appropriate percentages in publication date. She
has a manual, published I think in 1995 or 1997, that lists those
percentages. They were left out of subsequent manuals, but I find
them suggestive, if not persuasive.
