A STUDY OF THE DESERET TEST CENTER TECHNICAL LIBRARY

Abstract

The operations of the Deseret Test Center Technical Library, an element of the Information Analysis Branch, were examined. Measures of effectiveness for the Branch and Library were proposed and the advantages and disadvantages of having microform in the Library's holdings were discussed. The design, administration and results of a Technical Information Services Questionnaire were presented and selected questions from the questionnaire were subjected to analysis using attitude scaling techniques. The growth of the library's collection was modeled as a linear regression model and the number of years remaining until the Library reached capacity was determined. Holding policies for present holdings and future acquisitions were proposed to provide additional space for future growth. Considerations for equipment necessary to utilize the microform holdings were detailed and a distribution of microform readers was proposed based on the results of modeling reader use as a finite population, many server queueing problem.
