N1 - SUMMARY. Domestic serial holdings and cancellation data for science titles for the years 1992 through 1994 were collected from ten ARL libraries throughout thc United States, bascd on thcir use of thc F. W. Faxon Coinpany as their primary domestic serial vendor and with their permission. The Library of Congress classification Q (scicnce) was selectcd for further analysis. The Q and, more specifically, the QD (chemistry) data are analyzcd to determine national trends in chemistry serial holdings and cancellations for the years 1992, 1993, and 1994. Findings show duplication among scicnce subscriptions to be higher than for serial collections as a whole and that chcrnistry serial collections had the highest dollar value of serial cancellations during the threc-year study period.
