• What to buy per-item
• What to get on demand
• What not to get at all

COUNTER LEVEL II
the following slides are my
PERSONAL guess

Maybe--just guessing:
development: 2003/4
code of practice: 2004 ?
implemented standard: 2005 ??

The Goal of a Library
not to buy as little as possible
and save all its money
butto buy as much as possible and spend all its money
(and thus satisfy all its users)
![Page 17: 1 FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR COUNTER AND USE STATISTICS David Goodman dgoodman@princeton.edu Palmer School of Library & Information Science Long Island University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081516/55167d7d5503469d698b5c6a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

What Can the Library Do?Not likely:
Get more moneyGet lower prices
Already accomplished:State or nation-wide pricing
Suicidal:Not meet needs
Finally possible:Meet needs intelligently
![Page 19: 1 FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR COUNTER AND USE STATISTICS David Goodman dgoodman@princeton.edu Palmer School of Library & Information Science Long Island University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081516/55167d7d5503469d698b5c6a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Convenient Numerical Ratio80/20
Eighty percent of the demand is met by
Twenty percent of the material
all libraries have to do is to know
which twenty percent
![Page 20: 1 FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR COUNTER AND USE STATISTICS David Goodman dgoodman@princeton.edu Palmer School of Library & Information Science Long Island University](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081516/55167d7d5503469d698b5c6a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Once we know...
We'll subscribe to the 20 percent,buy the low use material by the item,
and then libraries will get everything
the users will need,
and publishers will sell everything worthwhile they produce

There will, of course,
be some technical complications
along the way
