The last activity, computer operations, was subdivided into three parts: computer charges, library equipment rental costs, systems it is impossible to split our computer cost for each circulation subfunction because we use integrated data bases which are charged as a Mtmthly totals were averaged for each activity's transaction time, number As has been shown by the example of its use at WSU, the models provide for two functions: cost comparison of automated and manual circulation systems at the same levels of book circulation, and prediction of cost Model costs at 590 circulation 	./cache/5764.pdf	./txt/5764.txt
