摘要

摘要尽管一些学者仍然认为学术图书馆不是休闲阅读的地方，但许多人赞成至少保留一小部分独特的此类书籍。目前流行的图书具有战略位置和吸引人的展示，有可能为图书馆带来流量，并改善发行量统计。在佛罗里达海湾海岸大学图书馆迈出了这一步后，对这批新藏品的发行量进行了仔细的统计分析，结果表明，我们不仅都在使用它，而且有多种但一致的模式和偏好在起作用。藏品的流通率是否可以通过为学术人群量身定制来提高？这项研究旨在找出答案。

Inside the front door: Tailoring a leisure reading collection to attract an academic population

Abstract While some academics still maintain that an academic library is no place for leisure reading, many are in favor of maintaining at least a small distinct collection of such books. Strategically located and attractively displayed, current popular titles have the potential to generate traffic to the library and improve circulation statistics. Having taken the leap at Florida Gulf Coast University Library, a close statistical analysis of this new collection’s circulation over time has revealed not only that we all use it, but also that there are diverse but consistent patterns and preferences at play. Could the collection’s circulation rate be increased by tailoring it to an academic population? This study was designed to find out.

期刊介绍： College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
