Target:Aging Reports

[Terrie Hinojosa <hinojosa_baker@YAHOO.COM>]

I just received an aging report in the library where I am starting
that shows that 43% of the materials in my library are over 30 years
old.  This number shocked me!  I am wondering if there is a standard
for this.  Does this seem high to anyone else?  What might be an ideal
number or something I can set a goal to?  (Note: I am a first year
librarian)  Thanks for any input.
