[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Circulation numbers

[Rocca, Jen]

Our circulation numbers are pretty bad - but our library usage statistics
are quite high. When asked for circulation statistics I usually include a
statement on why circulation doesn't reflect how the library is used and
that many books are used in the library for research but not checked out.
Then I offer the statistics that better reflect what we do: the number of
classes served, lessons taught, students using the library space, etc.

We started paying for LibraryTrac a few years ago and that has been
fantastic for giving us detailed statistics on how our space and services
are used.
