- Abstract
- State of the art reviews are publications that contain articles that give overviews on specific topics and, although some review titles are published more frequently, many appear only once a year. At the Physical Sciences Library, Pennsylvania State University, a 1 year reshelving study of the review publications collection was undertaken to determine usage of the titles. This was encouraged by a lack of shelf space, storage considerations, and the threat of periodicals cancellations. 300 review titles were examined and data collected in terms of LCC and publication date. Results indicated that: approximately half of all the titles were used at least once; periodicals had a higher percentage of use than did monographic series. As a result of the study, periodical titles were incorporated into the periodicals collection, while series were merged into the monograph collection
