[LM_NET] TARGET: Number of Books Per Student

[Arlene Morrow <Admorrow@AOL.COM>]

It seems I heard in my Collection Development class or somewhere that there  
is a number of books per student that libraries should have.  I can't seem  to 
find the information in my notes or in an archived discussion here.
 
Does anyone know if there is a "magic" number of books that we are supposed  
to have per student?  Is that possibly a part of schools' accreditation  
process and varies from state to state?
 
I appreciate any information or opinions.
