> I am new to this list (and starting a temporary faculty collection 
> development position next Tuesday at a community college).  I was just 
> trying to figure out what kinds of information/statistics would be 
> useful when evaluating parts of the collection.
>
> I was thinking collection age (or call number range age) and 
> circulation (most circulated and least circulated items).

> What other types of information do you use when you review your 
> collection?
>
> There is a library portion of our program reviews to make sure we have 
> the resources the students need and I'd like to go into meetings with 
> the faculty with something to show them so we know where to focus our 
> efforts.

> Thanks in advance!
