  • Systems Analysis in Libraries. Leimkuhler, Ferdinand F. Engineering Information Services Information Systems Libraries Library Planning Library Technical Processes Models Operations Research Systems Analysis A comprehensive engineering approach to the analysis of libraries as information service systems is described in which operations research type models are developed and tested for optimizing the design and management of document storage and retrieval processes. Extension of this approach to the development of more comprehensive system models is outlined in which the interaction of the librarians with the users and the funders is explicitly taken into account in assessing system performance.
