ERIC ED338244: An Analysis of the Magazine

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

A periodicals use study was conducted in a public high school library media center to determine whether its periodicals collection supported the curriculum needs of the students. For this study, 3,924 magazine requests by the students over an 8-month period were collected and analyzed. The analysis revealed that 96% of the magazine date requests were met by titles whose magazine dates were within the last 5 years; 45 different magazines, going back in date 17 years, met 90% of the magazine title requests; and teachers’ decisions appeared to be a notable factor in the students’ use of the periodicals collection. A list of the magazines currently held in the library and the magazine request data are appended. (Author/MAB
