A NATIONAL LOAN POLICY FOR SCIENTIFIC SERIALS

Abstract

Elsewhere a survey has been reported of the use of the serials in the Science Museum Library. In brief this showed that where the Science Museum Library's copy of a serial was frequently used, this serial was widely held, and that the converse was true. In fact it appears that the use of the Science Museum's copy of a periodical is a rough measure of the national loan use of library copies.
