At the University of New Hampshire, serial publications took 80% of the acquisitions budget, yet staff knew less about that portion (6,000 titles) of the collection than any other. Librarians surveyed faculty to determine interdisciplinary use, cost of a "better" collection, acceptability of document delivery and interlibrary loans, and which titles could be canceled. (PEN)
