Abstract

Data for the raw frequency of use of 138 physics journals in the science library at MIT are re-examined and converted to densities of use-per-metre of shelf. There is no evidence for synchronous obsolescence in the 1955 to 1968 volumes, and some evidence of greater density of use with greater age. (Author/LS)
