I would also be interested in usage statistics besides reshelving data.
However, you can get a more accurate count of usage if you provide a place
next to the photocopiers for users to put the issues and volumes they use.
If there is a clearly marked area next to the copiers, they are less likely
to take the trouble to reshelve the item themselves.  Of course, there are
still going to be inaccuracies!

In your "Measures used for definition of a core collection", how did you
conduct a one year study of use of periodicals?  I've not yet found a good
way to measure use of current and bound titles on open shelves.  We've used
reshelving data, but it doesn't feel at all reliable/accurate/complete.
Thanks
