Abstract
This paper describes surveys and analyses conducted in 1991-93 to dete rmine the demand for journals by users of the libraries of the State U niversity of New York at Stony Brook. It also describes the use of the information gathered by these surveys in a journal cancellation proje ct. The use and user studies described include (1) a one-year analysis of use of all journals (new issues and bound volumes); (2) an analysi s of faculty perception of the value of individual journal titles; and (3) citation studies analyzing use of journal collections in the scie nces.
