Help, Oh great ones!
I'm working with out district administration to look at the size and age
of our collections in terms of future budgets and I'm needing some data to
support our requests. I have the SLJ article on the spending survey, but
was wondering if you had data on the following:
1. Do you have a formula for your goal of how many books per student your
library should have?
2. What is your spending formula on Library materials per student per
year?
3. Do you look at the age of your collections when determining budgets?
I need to determine if what we're currently spending is even in the
ballpark of what's happening nationally.
Thanks in advance!
