| contents | A Study of the Potential for Sharing Education Periodicals among the Southern UC Campuses. Griffith, Jeffrey C. College Libraries Cost Effectiveness Costs Information Systems Interlibrary Loans Periodicals Tables (Data) This study reports on an examination of the overlap of periodicals that are related to the discipline of education and that are currently received by the five southern University of California (UC) campuses. An estimate is made of the percentage of these commonly held periodicals that could be more economically borrowed from a regional resource library such as UCLA, than owned individually by another southern campus. The basis for the analysis is a comparison of the cost per loan in an efficiently designed interlibrary loan system, with the cost per use for each title at each library, based upon recorded circulation and projected demand. Estimates are made of the cost per loan, the total cost of owning a periodical, and the projected demand for volumes to be received in the next ten years. Results of the analysis suggest that between one-third and one-half of the total number of periodical titles studied could be more economically borrowed than owned. It is concluded that there is considerable potential for the sharing of periodicals related to education by the southern UC campuses. (Author) |
