Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1982, vol. 33, issue 4, 217-222

Abstract: A simulation language is presented which lends itself to the modeling of library operations. Here a circulation department of a university library is modeled using Integrated Network System (INS) language. The public demands on the resources are measured as are a 10 and 20% increase in the demand. The resulting data are used by management to determine the efficiency of a network and to predict manpower needs.
