Bookstein, Abraham – Library Quarterly, 1972
This paper examines the nature of decision making in libraries, with the view of learning what qualities ought to be developed while in a library school. The concluding section raises questions that must be answered before operations research (O.R.) can be successfully integrated into a library school curriculum. (7 references) (Author/NH)

Glover, Fred; Klingman, Darwin – Library Quarterly, 1972
New model formulations and solution methods are given for the Journal Selection Problem. The results are developed in a framework that can also accommodate problems with a somewhat different structure than the Journal Selection Problem, thus providing new solution strategies for these problems as well.

Hamburg, Morris; And Others – Library Quarterly, 1972
For optimal allocations of limited funds, it is necessary for libraries to develop measures of output. 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)
