| contents | Correlating the Classes of Books Taken Out Of and Books Used Within an Open-Stack Library. Research Report. Domas, Ralph E. Bibliographies Classification College Libraries Correlation Dewey Decimal Classification Library Circulation Library Research Mathematical Formulas Research Research Methodology Statistical Data The purpose of this study was to determine if a correlation existed between the classes of books checked out of the San Antonio College Library and the classes of books used in the Library. Data for out-of-library and in-library use were collected during February, 1978, and arranged by Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) tens. By using the Pearson product-moment correlation formula, the author found a significant positive correlation between out-of-library and in-library use of books. It was also concluded that over-the-counter circulation count is a reliable indicator of total library use within the DDC tens class spans. (Author) |
