Improving the Periodicals Collection through an Index Correlation Study

Abstract

With the cost of periodical subscriptions increasing every year, our library, like most others, has been attempting to limit our periodicals expenditures and to restrict our current subscriptions to those journals most important to our students and faculty. This article is a report of a study done to help determine which periodicals we should continue to receive and those which we could cancel.
