Abstract
The 1978 University of Pittsburgh library materials has received considerable attention. Nevertheless, few librarians have replicated the study. This article reports on a partial replication at a small liberal arts college. The author found a similar book use pattern at the undergraduate institution studied as at the University of Pittsburgh and DePauw University. He concludes that the book use pattern exhibited may be typical among academic libraries and suggests close cooperation between librarians and classroom faculty in selection and use of undergraduate books.
1978年匹兹堡大学图书馆的资料受到了相当大的关注。然而,很少有图书管理员复制了这项研究。本文报道了一所小型文理学院的部分复制。作者发现,在匹兹堡大学(University of Pittsburgh)和德堡大学(DePauw University)所研究的本科院校中,人们使用书籍的模式与之相似。他的结论是,所展示的图书使用模式可能在学术图书馆中是典型的,并建议图书馆员和课堂教师在选择和使用本科生图书方面密切合作。
