This study sought to determine optimal serial-to-monograph ratios for collection development by comparing citation frequency with current library practice. Internal medicine literature cited an average of 88% serial references and 12% monographs. In an observational study, teaching physicians on internal medicine rounds cited 89.5% serials and 10.5% monographs to student teams. By contrast, health sciences libraries included in the Houston statistics spend an average of 79% of acquisitions budgets for serials and 21% for monographs. An 88:12 acquisitions budget ratio would be more appropriate, reflecting actual use of serials and monographs in the health sciences.
本研究旨在通过比较文献引用频率与当前图书馆实践，确定馆藏发展的最佳连续出版物与专著比例。内科医学文献平均引用88%的连续出版物参考文献和12%的专著。在一项观察性研究中，内科查房的带教医生向学生团队引用的文献中，连续出版物占89.5%，专著占10.5%。相比之下，休斯顿统计数据中的健康科学图书馆，平均将79%的采购预算用于连续出版物，21%用于专著。88:12的采购预算比例更为合适，这反映了健康科学领域连续出版物和专著的实际使用情况。
