Coverage and Cost

We hope that this Coverage and Cost study will indicate the relative importance of differing subject and non-subject parameters in book profiling. It is also intended to be used as a guide in estimating the cost of an Approval Plan at the time the library profile is written, and therefore to inform the budgeting process.
