Another thought would be to balance appropriate rotation of objects against the numbers Dave suggested. How many items have been over-exposed or otherwise damaged? What resources do you have to rotate objects that need to be rotated?

What staff & staff time do you have to devote to collections and how does that compare to what you need?
