---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2000 18:38:31 -0400 From: David Goodman <dgoodman@Princeton.EDU> Subject: Re: Dividing the market Re: Haworth press journals (Buddy Pennington) For a summary, see my presentation from the 2000 National Online Meeting, at: http://www.princeton.edu/~biolib/dg/whatprint.html and , from this year's SLA meeting: http://www.princeton.edu/~biolib/dg/whatpubl.html (They will also appear together in modified form in the next Online Information Review.) For a discussion of a MUCH better effort, see the material from Univ. of Wisc. Of course that's a multi-year project across a whole library system. see: http://www.library.wisc.edu/projects/glsdo/cost.html Another discussion from earlier on this list: see: > Re: Journal use studies--request for info -Reply > Date: > Mon, 15 May 2000 17:25:27 -0400 > From: > Alfred Kraemer <akraemer@MCW.EDU> Wisconsin concluded that their use/reshelving ration was less than or equal to 2. My data was that it was very close to 2. Difficult as it is to do such a study, without it you do not have data. But I was very glad to stop after one year. With e-journals, this will be much easier once methods are worked out for dealing with the immense amounts of data obtainable. > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2000 08:24:06 -0500 > From: "Pennington, Buddy" <buddy.pennington@ROCKHURST.EDU> > Subject: Re: Dividing the market Re: Haworth press journals (Lynn Gardner > > I would also be interested in usage statistics besides reshelving data. > However, you can get a more accurate count of usage if you provide a place > next to the photocopiers for users to put the issues and volumes they use. > If there is a clearly marked area next to the copiers, they are less likely > to take the trouble to reshelve the item themselves.
