I should be interested in hearing from anyone who has done a survey
of the time taken from receipt of a serial issue to passing for
shelving.

  Anything however small would be of interest.

   Was the survey done from the front point (i.e. receipt date) or the
end point (i.e. shelving date)?  How many date periods were tracked?
Was it done for a sample of named serials or for the total batch
received during a particular time period?

   Please reply to  E.DOLBY@QUT.EDU.AU
                or  ACQLIBS@QUT.EDU.AU
