Movements through systems
Circulations is the plural of circulation, referring to multiple instances of movement in a circuit or loop.
Blood has its circulation through the body; air circulates through a building's ventilation system.
In publishing, circulations refers to the distribution numbers of different periodicals: The magazine's circulation dropped, while its competitors' circulations held steady.
Library circulations track how often materials are borrowed.
