This article applies break-even analysis to determine what magnitude of titles added ·per year (for which a proof slip will be used in producing card sets) is sufficient to utilize economically Library of Congress proof slips and a Xerox 914 copying machine in the cataloging operation of a library. A break-even formula is derived~ and an example of its use is given using data gathered at Arkansas State University.
