Hello,

I have my first job as a LMS at a high school and
middle school and I have an idea I wanted to bounce
off the rest of you.

The former librarian retired after almost thirty years
of service in my district and our current high school
magazines include the standards (Time, Newsweek, etc)
but also titles such as The Ladies Home Journal,
Redbook, about 5 different truck & car magazines and
the magazine "Games" (this I don't understand because
the games are crosswords and word searches!) and a
variety of YA mags for teen girls...to say the least,
this collection needs updated.

The idea that I have is to just buy different
magazines off the rack for the first few months and
keep statistics on what circulates and what does not.
During this time I will conduct a survey to find out
what these YA's would really like to see on the shelf
and then, based on surveys and circulation statistics,
order subscriptions.  I guess my real question is, do
you think I'm wasting the school money by doing this?

Thanks for your help,

Billie Esser
