1975年10月28日至1976年4月28日,在科罗拉多州博尔德的两个NOAA图书馆进行了为期六个月的期刊评估研究,以协助订阅更新活动、增强馆藏相关性和确定有效的方法。 数据来自使用研究、流通和馆际互借统计、核心列表、当地可用性、调查问卷返回、订阅成本以及图书馆员和读者的投入。 结果表明:(1) 三个月的使用监测将六个月研究中获得的低使用率标题的比例提高了 84%,这表明三个月的研究就足够了; (2) 考虑到藏品中 31% 的六个月使用情况,当使用原始使用与使用密度数据时,相同的标题在 92% 的时间内被提取,这表明不需要获得使用密度数据来确定低价值标题; (3) 当两位或更多科学家(约占回答问卷的科学家的 0.8%)推荐一个标题时,5.5% 的时间(一位或多名科学家为 13.7%)该标题显示为低使用率(两次或更少使用)标题,从而表明科学家建议的重要性; (4)导出了确定收款余额的余额指标。
A six-month journal evaluation study was conducted at the two NOAA libraries in Boulder, Colorado, from 28 October 1975 to 28 April 1976 to assist in subscription renewal activities, enhancement of collection relevance, and determination of efficient methodology. Data were collected from a use study, circulation and interlibrary loan statistics, a core list, local availability, questionnaire returns, subscription costs, and librarian and patron input. Results showed that (1) monitoring use for three months pulled 84% of the low-use titles obtained in the six-month study indicating that a three-month study is sufficient; (2) considering the lower 31% of the collection in terms of six-month useage, the same titles were pulled 92% of the time when using raw use versus use density data, indicating that use density data need not be obtained for determination of low value titles; (3) when two or more scientists (about 0.8% of scientists responding to a questionnaire) recommended a title, it appeared as a low-use (two or fewer uses) title 5.5% of the time (13.7% of the time for one or more scientists) thus indicating the significance of scientists' recommendations; (4) a balance index for determination of collection balance was derived.
