[Publib] Average # of books added/withdrawn

[Jeni Schomber]

Dear Publibbers,
      I would like to first off thank everyone who responded to my 
question a couple of weeks ago about how books in Fiction are shelved. 
The majority of libraries shelve fiction by author's last name, author's 
first name and then title. We are going to start shelving our fiction 
this way. Thanks again.

     Now for my next question. I am wondering: a) what is the size of 
your materials collection? b) what is the percentage of items added to 
the collection each year? and c) what is the percentage of items 
withdrawn from the collection each year?

Thanks in advance,
