Question: How to split a collection?

[Monica Campana <campam5@BELLSOUTH.NET>]

I've been having nightmares - appropriate because today is Halloween. My
school has 2400 K-8 students and sometime this spring the 1300 K-5 students
will be moving into the brand new school next door. Since Follett will
export student data with records intact I'm hoping I can check out 5 books
per student two weeks prior to the move. I will allow them to select titles
they think should go with them, with some guidance from me. (Spring weeding,
anyone?) Teachers may also take on this responsibility with materials only
they can borrow.We'll send home a letter to the parents first asking if they
would be willing to help with the responsibility of moving the books and
only do this with students who return a signed letter. Am I crazy? Can this
work? Has anyone ever had to do this before? How did you split and move the
collection? E-mail responses to me and I'll post a hit. Thanks in advance.
