Abstract

This paper describes surveys and analyses conducted in 1991-93 to determine the demand for journals by users of the libraries of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. It also describes the use of the information gathered by these surveys in a journal cancellation project. The use and user studies described include (1) a one-year analysis of use of all journals (new issues and bound volumes); (2) an analysis of faculty perception of the value of individual journal titles; and (3) citation studies analyzing use of journal collections in the sciences.
