The computerization of library circulation systems not only transforms a basic housekeeping activity but also should be able to provide librarians with information about that activity which should contribute to policy making and review. In the University of Sussex Library information about the borrowing of books in various subjects has led to changes in acquisitions policy. Despite the limitations of this measure of demand, the ’prompts’it provides have enabled the library, in a period of falling resources, to improve its basic book provision for today’s readers without undue prejudice to the needs of the future.
