Managing equipment: a proposed model for replacement

Abstract

Proposes a replacement model for all types of library equipment — both audiovisual and computer. The model enables managers to develop a consistent capital equipment replacement budget based on such factors as equipment longevity, level of use, and technological advances. Also discusses machine reassignment as an alternative to obsolescence.
