Abstract While some academics still maintain that an academic library is no place for leisure reading, many are in favor of maintaining at least a small distinct collection of such books. Strategically located and attractively displayed, current popular titles have the potential to generate traffic to the library and improve circulation statistics. Having taken the leap at Florida Gulf Coast University Library, a close statistical analysis of this new collection’s circulation over time has revealed not only that we all use it, but also that there are diverse but consistent patterns and preferences at play. Could the collection’s circulation rate be increased by tailoring it to an academic population? This study was designed to find out.

前门内：定制休闲阅读收藏以吸引学术人群

摘要尽管一些学者仍然坚持认为大学图书馆不是休闲阅读的地方，但许多学者赞成至少保留一小部分独特的此类书籍。具有战略意义的位置和吸引人的展示位置，当前的热门图书有潜力吸引图书馆访问量并改善发行量统计数据。在佛罗里达州墨西哥湾沿岸大学图书馆取得飞跃发展之后，对该新馆藏随时间推移的发行量进行了密切的统计分析，不仅发现我们所有人都在使用它，而且还在发挥着多种多样但一致的模式和偏好。是否可以通过针对学术人群量身定制来提高藏品的发行量？本研究旨在找出答案。
