[LM_NET] collection developmetn help please

[barbara <bawall@NORTHNET.ORG>]

Colleagues,

I am trying to come up with some guidelines for rough percents of books for
Fiction, Picture books and the Dewey Categories for a school library
collection at the elementary, middle and high school levels.  I am not sure
where to begin but would like to get several sources to review.  I would
appreciate any suggestions.  My references on collection development are at
work, but I do not recall specifics.  Naturally any divisions would have to
be adapted for the school area and population but in general.... Thanks in
advance.
