Abstract
Since the Pittsburgh Study was designed to provide measures of use that could be applied in other libraries, the question of its validity is an important one for libraries generally. A prominent feature of the Study is its estimate of the amount of use received by serials, and the percentages of serial titles expected to be used at least once during a year. This paper examines the Study's conclusions about serial use, compares these results with those reported by other libraries, and raises questions about the methods and procedures employed.
