Four goal programming models were developed for a illustrative college library collection development environment. Typical collection development goals found in the literature and in library policy statements were combined with sample data to determine the applicability of goal programming to acquisitions allocation. The following goals were included in the models: (1) Do not exceed the total acquisitions budget. (2) Limit periodical expenditures to 60% of total acquisitions expenditures. (3) Limit periodical acquisitions to a level that can be supported for at least five years. (4) Acquire titles in accord with subject enrollment data. (5) Acquire titles in accord with subject circulation data. (6) Acquire titles by level of retrospective subject requirements. (7) Acquire titles by levels of U.S. publishing output. (8) Limit research acquisitions to 15% of total acquisitions and allocate on the basis of departmental productivity. (9) Meet minimal subject acquisitions levels. |
