The paper describes the advantages of using variable length equifrequent fragments as the language elements for compression coding of large data bases. The problem of finding the minimum space representation of the fragment compressed data base is equivalent to solving a shortest path problem. Three alternate algorithms for compression are described and their performance is tested on both word and text fragments. It is found that text fragments selected by a longest match algorithm produce the best results with regard to compression and use of processing time.

This article is a comparison of ELHILL 2 and STAIRS programs with respect to on-line searching of the MEDLARS citation file. Areas under consideration are database characteristics, basic terminal interactions, commands, search statements, and printing citations resulting from on-line or off-line processing.

The problem of how much of a branch library's budget shoud be spent on acquisition of new material as opposed to holding capital in reserve to photoduplicate material at the main library upon demand is presented. A mathematical model is constructed and discussed in detail, and a solution procedure basen on a dynamic programming approach is developed. Several photoduplication policies are considered, modeled, and compared. An example problem is presented to show how the formulas work. Thus a library problem representative of the larger problems of library networks is developed further as an example of library operations research.
