[Michlib-l] Tween Collection

[Jessica Wilhoite]

Hi all, 

I know this has been discussed before, but I am investigating starting a tween/middle school (better name?) collection and need input. 


    * Did you take books from existing J/Teen collections and create a Tween collection or did you start from scratch? 
    * Have your circ stats increased from books that were moved over, if you used books in your existing collection? 
    * Feedback from patrons (positive or negative)? 
    * If you have a collection, do you separate the books or keep them interfiled with a tween sticker on the spine? 
    * Do you find that there are too many places to send patrons looking for materials? (This was a question brought to me when I said I wanted to investigate this collection) 
    * Procedure for your processing staff on how to determine what goes in tween? 
    * Anything else you can think of that might be relevant/helpful? 

I will compile the responses for anyone who wants them. 

Thanks!
