TL;DR: In the last twelve years there has been a phenomenal increase in the number of periodicals focusing on women's studies and feminism as mentioned in this paper. Initially these titles were ignored by most indexing and abstracting services.
Abstract: During the last twelve years there has been a phenomenal increase in the number of periodicals focusing on women's studies and feminism. Initially these titles were ignored by most indexing and abstracting services. The earliest indexing, by the Alternative Press Index and Women Studies Abstracts appeared in 1971 and 1972. Since 1975 there has been a marked increase in the indexing of these periodicals; and the Wilson indexes have added half a dozen new titles so far in the 1980s. The interdisciplinary nature of women's studies requires that researchers and librarians be aware of the indexes which can best satisfy their needs.

TL;DR: A practical method of evaluating periodical use within the Undergraduate Library at the University of Illinois was developed in 1980, and those titles that will satisfy 90% of the patrons' needs were identified.
Abstract: A practical method of evaluating periodical use within the Undergraduate Library at the University of Illinois was developed in 1980. This methodology involves limited labor and costs. No complicated computer tabulations were involved in the study, which: identified individual periodical titles and ranked them according to use; identified the status of the user; identified bound volume use by title and year; and determined the loss rate, by title, of current issues. The study also contrasted current issue use with bound volume use for each title. Using this information, those titles that will satisfy 90% of the patrons' needs were identified.

TL;DR: Costs of serials havc risen to the point where the purchase of monographs is endangered, and concerted action by librarians must now be taken.
Abstract: Costs of serials havc risen to the point where the purchase of monographs is endangered. While there are historical reasons for the present predicament, concerted action by librarians must now be taken. Governmental subsidies are not likely to be forthcoming. Cancellation of subscriptions to journals has taken place across the nation, but hitherto without appreciable effect. Librarians can take action in several ways. Publishers can also take measures more in tune with financial reality in today's research libraries. A greater role should be played by the university, society, and other non-commercial presses. Also, that which is no longer affordable in paper format should be published in microforms on demand, electronically, or by other, as yet unconventional, means.

TL;DR: The management information reports produced from automated serials systems can be valuable hard evidence to support decisions about periodicals retention and disposal.
Abstract: The management information reports produced from automated serials systems can be valuable hard evidence to support decisions about periodicals retention and disposal. The pressure of rising subscription costs and static or declining budgets generates considerable pressure on librarians to justify decisions about serials. Cost analyses by academic discipline, physical format, location, or price-range are effective and useful tools. Increased demand for hard data makes management information reports from computerized systems an urgent need.

TL;DR: By examining use and citation studies that have been conducted over a period of several years, it is possible to determine a core of journals within the sciences, social sciences, and, to a lesser extent, the humanities.
Abstract: The creation of a good periodicals collection in an undergraduate library depends not only on intelligent acquisitions decisions, but on deselection decisions as well. By examining use and citation studies that have been conducted over a period of several years, it is possible to determine a core of journals within the sciences, social sciences, and, to a lesser extent, the humanities. At the same time it is possible to ascertain the approximate lifetime usefulness of periodical literature within a given discipline. Journals can then be acquired for, or withdrawn from, the collection on the basis of these measures of use and obsolescence.

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of serial resources in Canadian university libraries, major public libraries, selected college libraries and the collection of National Library of Canada and Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information has been gathered to study budget allocations, new subscriptions and/or cancellations.
Abstract: Data on serial resources in Canadian university libraries, major public libraries, selected college libraries and the collection of National Library of Canada and Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information have been gathered to study budget allocations, new subscriptions and/or cancellations. The survey indicates that there is still some modest growth in university serials collections, whereas it is quite significant in the two Federal Government libraries. Feasibility of a national serial lending facility in Canadian context is discusscd on the basis of the existing concentration of serial resources and the experience of the British Library Lending Division.
TL;DR: To compare these two indexing treatments, the investigator solicited readers from among mathematics faculty and graduate students to suggest queries to which the documents would be satisfactory responses, and then compared search terms with author and professional indexing terms.
Abstract: The American Mathematical Society (AMS) has required since 1970 that authors of articles published in AMS journals submit indexing terms with their manuscripts. This study examincd 159 documents published by the AMS in 1975. Each contained author indexing tenn--class numbers selected bv authors from the AMS(M0S) Subject Classification Scheme (1970). Most documents also received indexing terms provided by Mathematical Reviews indexers. To compare these two indexing treatments, the investigator solicited readers from among mathematics faculty and graduate students to suggest queries to which the documents would be satisfactory responses. The investigator transformed the queries into search statements composed of AMS class numbers, and then compared search terms with author and professional indexing terms. A document was retrieved (and recall considered successful) if at least one search term matched at least one indexing term, under a given indexing treatment. The major hypothesis of the study was that auth...

TL;DR: An automated binding preparation system that is currently used at a university library is introduced and it is possible to generate binding slips, packing slips, and other necessary listings by computer with a greatly reduced need for clerical intervention.
Abstract: Library binding function involves a large amount of repetitive clerical work. Despite notable progress in other areas of library automation during the past few years, only a little development has been made in automating binding preparation processes. By storing binding information in the computer memory, it is possible to generate binding slips, packing slips, and other necessary listings by computer with a greatly reduced need for clerical intervention. This article introduces an automated binding preparation system that is currently used at a university library.
