HIT: age collection

[Kris Cobb <KrisC@DKE.K12.IN.US>]

I received another suggestion from Jamie, and someone else (sorry, I =
forgot to keep the name!) to gather the desired age of areas of your =
collection. I did this and it really gives some interesting results.  I =
plan to use it to propose a bigger budget for our library.

You can sign up for a free trial of BenchMarc at this address:

You import your collection to your desktop (They give instructions on how =
to do this) and then they will analyze your collection by size, age, etc.  =
You can choose from several different reports.  What I found out is that =
my collection is very old! (Like I didn't know that already!)
