The application of Kantor's demand-adjusted shelf availability model to a medium-sized aca demic library is described. The model can be applied in a working library environment with relative ease. The data indicate that there are significant differences in shelf availability when the data are sorted, adjusted, and analyzed by last circulation date, acquisition date, and im print date. There is also a significant difference between the results of data gathered during periods of low and high use. his research report is the sec ond in a series. The papers describe the use of scientific
