MIDDLE,SEC: Circulation & retention policies

[Suzanne Scarola <suzannetom@YAHOO.COM>]

Hi all,

I am coming from several years in a public library to
a 6-12 school. What have you found to be a good length
of time for circulating books? Do you limit the # of
books a student can check out? Do you circulate
magazines? This library has several magazines back to
the 60s (Time, Newsweek etc.). Does anyone hold hard
copies this long? I know that EBSCO only covers the
last ten years in full text for most magazines, but is
it worth the storage space?

Thnks in advance,
Suzanne
