Hello,

This is probably basic library 101 stuff, but I confess I don’t know 
it; I am compiling statistics for a collection report which is asking 
for volume equivalents. Is there a ‘magic’ formula for figuring the 
collection size of bound and unbound journals, microfiche, and 
microforms?  I checked ACRL standards and guidelines without success.

Thanks for your help
