期刊選購與刪除決策模式之建立與應用 A Serials Selection and Deselection: Decision Model & Its Application

Abstract

無Budget shortage has caused a serious problem in decision-making in the selection, or deselect ion. of serials subscription in most of the university libraries. This article suggests the decisi?n model and cost-effectiveness analysis as solutions to, this problem. The model includes evaluation criteria as follow: frequency of periodical being used. times being cited by thesis and dissertation. grading by professors of a given subject. accessibility and avai1ability. and inclusiveness in standard serials list of a given subject. A value for each serial can be assessed by weighting each criteria, divided by serial cost. and acquiring a cost-effectiveness ratio. The selection or deselect ion of serial subscription can then be decided by comparing these cost-effectiveness ratios.
