I hope they're not relying exclusively on circ transaction data to discover
what is "never used." I realize this may sound insane, but a lot of
materials are actually used *in the library* without being checked out. The
nature of the resource and the people who have a lot to do with this.
Years ago, we did a major weeding and storage project at a place I worked at
did something similar. Just to be safe, we had the shelvers look at our
proposed list which contained 10's of thousands of items to see if any of
them jumped out as things they recognized as materials that were used. While
most were not, there were certainly a number that were.
