A cooperative serial acquisition program: thoughts on a response to mounting fiscal pressures |
|
| Authors: | C L Jones |
| Abstract: | A regionally cooperative method of distributing responsibility for every serial title in a region is outlined. The system assures the equitable distribution of the number of titles for which each library is committed. Later refinements suggest an equalization of cost commitments on the basis of fiscal resources available for serial purchases. It is pointed out that fiscal realities will force some sort of serial acquisition cooperation for all viable medical libraries. |
