X. Housing 163 not be housed in existing facilities. For this purpose, quotations on the cost of such conversion were obtained from commercial firms. Because the cost of filming serials is much more than the cost of filming monographs, separate figures were obtained, and a weighted average was then calculated, based upon the estimated proportion of each type of material to be filmed. The resulting figure was $34.63 per volume. The cost of the space required by the full-size volume, at .08 asf per volume and an average construction cost of approximately $110 per asf, is only $8.80, however, so that even if the resulting microform occupied no space, the cost of this alternative is much greater than the cost of new construction. A second alternative that was considered is acquiring those materials that are already in microform and commercially available, and substituting these for their bound-volume equivalents. To explore this possibility, a sampling of 9,000 titles was checked by the largest commercial vendor of library microforms, and a report was furnished by the vendor on those titles that could be supplied, with their costs. Virtually no monographs were available, so the calculation of possible savings was based solely on periodical titles. Table 29 indicates the results of the calculation. Savings in space would indeed result, but the savings in construction costs would be more than offset by the combined cost of the microfilm, the additional microfilm readers required, and the space required for both the film and the readers. The third microform alternative considered was subscription to microform copies of current journals (if microform copies are commercially available) in addition to subscriptions to the full-size originals. The originals would still be needed, because most titles for which microform copies are available are high-use journals, but the full-size copies would be discarded after two or three years and the microform retained as the permanent copy, instead of binding the original issues. The analysis of this alternative is shown in Table 30. Again, samples were taken and availability of titles was ascertained, then projected on a systemwide basis. The experience of UC libraries to
