ABSTRACT

Historical data for serials use continue to be needed for cancellation decisions or justification of serials expenditures. An ongoing use study at Austin Peay State University has evolved from a cumbersome manual record to a sophisticated Access and Excel reporting tool for collection management decisions. A recent cancellation project made full use of the data; future enhancements include cost analyses, tracking inflation rates, and linking data for title changes.
