Hi, Angela.  We have not used that here, but I am not sure we have used any method here.  Using a per unit replacement cost seems like it would be difficult, though, because the cost to replace a humanities journal is likely a lot less than replacing a medical journal volume.

Subject: [SERIALST] Bound Serial Replacement Cost

Hello,

 

My library is assessing the value of our general collections by using a per unit method instead of capitalization.  Has anyone recently calculated the replacement value of a bound serial using a unit cost method?

 

Thanks,
