<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m working on a plan for the Umpqua Community College library and need determine how large of a print collection we should aim for. I already have a good justification for why we need a print collection in general (in addition to our digital
collections), but I need to provide a justification for how large the print collection should be.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m having a really hard time finding information to determine how large a print collection should be and what factors would go into determining that.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Other than comparing the print collection sizes or budgets in relation to FTE for other colleges,
<b>does anyone know of research or best practices to determine the print collection size?
<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you!<o:p></o:p></p>
