Monitor usage of columns

Hi all:

Is there a way in oracle (9i or 10g) to monitor access to the specific columns? I'd like to see which of the existing columns are never being accesses and remove them. Do I need to set up auditing? Or is there another way
(equivalent to index monitoring for instance)?

thank you
