If the school has a circ system that can provide circ statistic
reports (like Destiny can) then I would also print that out. Even
knowing my collection I am sometimes surprised what this report tells
me. With Destiny you can have it give you a report of materials that
have NOT circulated in X number of years...it is quite helpful and
also helps justify some of those 'iffy' ones.
