Title: Economics of periodicals in special libraries: An application of Bradford's distribution to CFTRI library periodicals holding Authors: Raghavan, K S; Shalini, R Abstract: Rationalization of periodical holdings based on a coat effectiveness study is necessary.

The findings are: (i) The top 20 most productive periodicals account for 45% of the total periodical literature output in the field of interest to CFTRI, (ii) the scatter of periodical literature in this area obeys the Bradford's distribution, (iii) a flexible decision making model regarding the coverage of periodical literature can be developed.
