Peer reviewedBommer, Michael – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1975
The major reasons which seem to be preventing operations research from achieving its potential and fulfilling the expectations of its proponents in library management are explored. (Author)

Peer reviewedGlover, 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.

Pitt, William Bruce; Kraft, Donald H. – Information Storage and Retrieval, 1975
The problem of how much of a branch library's budget should be spent on acquisition of new material as opposed to holding capital in reserve to photoduplicate material at the main library upon demand is presented. (Author)

Leimkuhler, F. F. – Drexel Library Quarterly, 1967
The paper reviews the research on design and operation of research libraries sponsored by the Purdue University Libraries and the Purdue School of Industrial Engineering. The use of mathematical models in library operations research is discussed. Among the mathematical methods discussed are marginal analysis or cost minimization, computer…
