Subject: CDL: Published dates as a percentage of the collection, more
From:  ann mccarthy <annlmcc_at_hotmail.com>

I to 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.
