In spite of all the discussion pro and con, I have heard very
little about the usefulness of the kiloword-per-dollar price
surveys published by the AIP, OSA, AMS, and others. The
literature of selection and weeding makes little or no
reference to them.

So, my question is: Have librarians found the surveys useful?
Have the surveys actually contributed to the collection
development process? Or, are they simply a topic for
conversation only?
