Library Objectives and Performance Measures and Their Use in Decision Making
Hamburg, Morris; And Others
Library Quarterly, 42, 1, 107-128, Jan 72

Various forms of user exposure to documents are discussed in an effort to develop such measures for public libraries. It is suggested that the accrual method of accounting be used to compare such measures with costs. (40 references) (Author/NH)
