A method for studying intercorrelated circulation patterns in library systems

Abstract

AbstractA means for studying intercorrelated circulation patterns among the branches of a library system is suggested. The focus is on the improvement of availability of library resources to the user. Under conditions in which the analyst is interested in geneA means for studying intercorrelated circulation patterns among the branches of a library system is suggested.

Under conditions in which the analyst is interested in geneA means for studying intercorrelated circulation patterns among the branches of a library system is suggested. The focus is on the improvement of availability of library resources to the user. Under conditions in which the analyst is interested in generating a picture of system‐wide utilization of library resources by an “average user” representative of the sum community, multidimensional scaling procedures might be applied to obtain relevant information. Following a brief description of multidimensional scaling, several kinds of specific analyses types concerning the allocation of library resources are discuss representative of the sum community, multidimensional scaling procedures might be applied to obtain relevant information. Following a brief description of multidimensional scaling, several kinds of specific analyses types concerning the all representative of the sum community, multidimensional scaling procedures might be applied to obtain relevant information.
