Abstract

How many monographs acquired in a particular year circulate in that year? What percentage have their first circulation each successive year? Does the pattern differ for different broad subject areas, i.e., humanities, the sciences, and the social sciences? This article tests the assumption that the first-circulation pattern differs by subject. We conclude that the pattern does not differ. The finding is important for decisions about off-site storage, assessing collection development, maintaining departmental libraries, etc. Regardless of subject, if a book has not circulated at least once within a few years after acquisition, it is unlikely to find its reader.

人文学科专著的首次发行模式与科学学科不同吗?
某年购入的专著有多少本在当年流通?连续每年的第一次发行量占多大比例?对于不同的学科领域,例如人文科学、自然科学和社会科学,这种模式是否有所不同?本文对第一流通模式因主体而异的假设进行了检验。我们的结论是,模式没有差异。这一发现对于制定非现场存储、评估馆藏发展、维护部门图书馆等决策具有重要意义。不管主题是什么,如果一本书在购买后的几年内没有至少流通过一次,它就不太可能找到它的读者。
