Abstract: | The length of time that borrowers keep books out of a library may be represented as the cumulative percent of books out vs the percent of the maximum loan period. This loan period distribution has been computed for a variety of academic libraries, with a variety of maximum loan periods and with a variety users. The results are quite consistent and suggest that the loan period distribution may possess universally consistent characteristics. |
