Circulation Management

Circulation management refers to the strategies and practices used to control the distribution and availability of printed materials, like books and newspapers, or digital content. It involves maintaining optimal inventory levels, ensuring materials reach their intended audience, and maximizing access to resources. In libraries, for example, circulation management includes tracking loans, returns, and reservations of books. In publishing, it focuses on managing print runs and digital subscriptions to meet consumer demand. Effective circulation management helps enhance user experience, promotes resource usage, and supports sustainability in content distribution.
