[LM_NET] Volumes per student standards/volumes per inch on shelves

[Lois Smits <lsmits@SBCGLOBAL.NET>]

Hi,
    
   Can anyone direct me to a site or source where I
can determine appropriate volumes per student for a
High School media center with aprox. 900 students.  We
need to build the collection and need to set a goal
for ordering and budgeting purposes.  
    A new media center is also in progress and I have
been asked to determine how many shelving units need
to be ordered.  
    Some have the idea that with the internet that we
need very few books so I am dealing with some of those
issues too.
   Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
