The problem of deciding which journal titles to select for acquisition in a biomedical library is modeled. The approach taken is based on cost/benefit ratios. Measures of journal worth, methods of data collection, and journal cost data are considered. The emphasis is on the development of a practical process for selecting journal titles, based on the objectivity and rationality of the model; and on the collection of the approprate data and library statistics in a reasonable manner. The implications of this process towards an overall management information system (MIS) for biomedical serials handling are discussed.
对生物医学图书馆选择采购哪些期刊的问题进行了建模。所采用的方法基于成本效益比。考虑了期刊价值的衡量标准、数据收集方法和期刊成本数据。重点在于开发一种基于模型的客观性和合理性来选择期刊的实用流程；以及以合理的方式收集适当的数据和图书馆统计信息。讨论了该流程对生物医学连续出版物处理的整体管理信息系统（MIS）的影响。
