FACULTY PERCEIVED NEEDS FOR SERIAL TITLES

Abstract
A description is given of a project involving the measurement of faculty perceived needs for the titles in a collection consisting of over 4,000 serials commenced in the Spring of 1977. Data obtained from the forced-choice ratings given to titles by various of the 41 departments in the University were used in retention/cancellation decision- making; and the methodology was subsequently applied to the selection of additional titles. The methodology and applications are critiqued and compared to those in several other relevant projects completed in recent years.
