Dess, Howard M.

Discussion of shrinking library budgets and increasing science journal prices focuses on methods used at Rutgers University (New Jersey) to help determine which journals could be eliminated. Results of a survey of faculty preferences, a journal reshelving study, and ranked journal lists based on faculty publications and citations are compared and contrasted. (LRW)
