| Abstract: | Decisions influencing the allocation of acquisitions funds in academic libraries are often based on the influence of many conflicting expectations ranging from those of the university community, administrators, faculty, and students to those of the librarians themselves. Any effective allocation model must be capable of reflecting the librarian's judgment about the priority of desired goals within the constraints of the existing situation. Most allocation models fail to meet this requirement. This article demonstrates how goal programming techniques can be used to provide an optimal allocation solution within the context of conflicting and incommensurate goals. A goal programming model is developed and used to illustrate the solution of a library acquisition allocation problem. |
