Our recently completed inventory of Monmouth's Circulating Collection
was the first such endeavor since the initial
automation/reclassification project in 1993(!). Based on our system
reports, we expected to find over 116,000 pieces. Of these, fewer than
800 went MIA, which is roughly a .7% loss. I suspect that we are on the
low end of the scale.
