Regarding print and electronic resources, I have an interest in best
leveraging our budget so that students and teachers have their research
and reading needs served. Similarly, I have been looking for statistics
or best practice recommendations on how to best accomplish this task. To
that end, I have not been able to locate any professional accepted
recommendations. Surely, it is important to maintain a robust fiction
collection in print, but beyond that, what would best practice dictate?
I look forward to a hit on this post.

I don't have an answer, but I'm certainly interested in this.  I'm new
this year, and have convinced my principal (wonderful man!) that I need
to
gut the collection by half--at least!  There is a somewhat vocal element
here that thinks there's no point in buying books anymore.  I disagree,
but would love some research/ideas to back up my argument. I don't
actually think it will be a big problem--most of the staff agree with
me,
but I'd like to be prepared!
