[LM_NET] Target: ELEM: Average size of elementary media center

[Tiffany Thiede <Tiffany.Thiede@WATERLOO.K12.WI.US>]

Hi,

I could use some help.  I have a smaller elementary library.  I have 15,000+ 
holdings in a room of 55 ft. by 28 ft.  I barely have enough room to move around in 
the library.  Now they want to add 24 computers in a computer lab to my all ready 
small space.  I'm working on trying to justify why it really is not feasible to do 
this.  Would elementary (PK-6th) people please help me out!  I need to know:

1.  How big is your library?
2.  How many items are housed in your library?
3.  Do you have an office?
4.  Do you have any storage space?   If so, how much?
5.  Do you have computers?  If so, how much space do you have between each station 
to be able to easily get to students?

If people are interested I will compile the information and post a hit.  

Thanks so very much!
