Peer reviewedBruce, Daniel R. – Library Quarterly, 1975
Gives a model to interrelate the measures of service used in a library. (Author/PF)
Descriptors: Library Circulation, Mathematical Models, Use Studies
Peer reviewedBookstein, Abraham – Library Quarterly, 1972
This paper attempts to analyze the problem of congestion, using a mathematical model shown to be of value in other similar applications. Three criteria of congestion are considered, and it is found that the conclusion one can draw is sensitive to which of these criteria is paramount. (8 references) (Author/NH)

Peer reviewedMorse, Philip M. – Library Quarterly, 1972
Mathematical models of library operations are presented which describe the amount of use made of resources by a user in a visit, the distribution of book circulation in a collection, the dependence of circulation on time, and the effect of multiple copies on user satisfaction.
