I'd recommending joining the list for circulation issues, where you can
get a bunch of information and experiences and opinions.

circplus@listserv.boisestate.edu

You can go to http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/circplus.html

to join the list.  Once you join, the archives there are searchable. This
has been a very popular topic there.
