Branch Libraries College Libraries Cost Effectiveness Decision Making Indexes Information Services Library Material Selection Library Research Research Libraries Sciences Special Libraries Technology Use Studies Four case histories were studied in an on-going project to develop a method for user selection of purchased scientific and technical information services. The issues involved were: (1) the value of computer search services to a small branch of a company technical library; (2) the special decision-making factors used for selecting items of very high or low costs; (3) the judgement factors applied when purchasing expensive special topic bulletins; and (4) the differences in work environment and other variables between a university science library and an industrial research library. A survey of usage patterns for scientific and technical information services at the Exxon Research and Engineering Company Central Library was planned. (PF) |
