The concept that measures fall within intervals is discussed, and suggestions are given for teaching techniques and for student activities emphasizing this concept. (DT)

The problem of selecting which journals to acquire in order to best satisfy library objectives is modeled as a zero-one linear programming problem and examined in detail. The model can be used to aid the librarian in making better selection decisions. (30 references) (Author/KE)
