Space requirements for serials collection Elena Romaniuk 19 Aug 1996 14:28 UTC

Colleagues,

Does anyone know of a formula used to estimate how much space a serials
collection of a given size requires? Also, how much additional space the
collection requires each year as it grows, based on the number of active
titles and/or other criteria?

How do others keep track of, or estimate, this kind of information?

Thanks for your help.
