Using circulation data for
the assessment of book
and periodical acquisitions
What is circulation?
• A “check-out”
• Usage (partial)
– Students, and all borrowers
– Interlibrary loan
• Imperfect measure
– Not (comprehensive) in-library use
– Don’t know how useful item was
• A measurable indicator, reflective of
overall usage trends; a guide
