This study was conducted to analyze and summarize raw data obtained from a 1972 study: "Report on a Cost Study of Specific Technical Processing Activities of the California State University and College Libraries" with the hypothesis that the cost of technical processes increases as the production volume both rises above and falls below an optimal level. Mathematical, graphic, and statistical tools were used to sort, visualize, and test the data and their relationships. The report records results in the form of graphs, tables, and charts, and discusses results in terms of their usefulness to the libraries supplying data. Emphasis is placed on the nature of time, cost and production measurements, and labor unit cost. No correlation was demonstrated to prove the hypothesis. The study concluded that labor unit cost is significantly complex to reflect more than the relationship between labor cost and production volume. A list of references supplementing the 1972 study is included. An outline of standardized technical processing activities, calculated time percentages for each library, activity flowcharts, data tables, graphs, and charts are appended. (Author/KP)
