Questionnaires, interviews and objective collection descriptions were used to collect information in the fields of chemistry, physics and biology. Part I is an analytic description of the selection decision-making process; Part II contains guidelines for institutions, designed to improve decision-making methods; Appendix A provides aids and forms for local data collection to assist the librarian in analyzing his local selection processes and user requirements; and Appendix B contains supporting technical data.
