ABSTRACT: The digitization of back issues of print journals creates
        opportunities for bibliometric analysis using the electronic text
        files. Using readily available software, simple methods, and a
        little creativity, librarians call extract and manipulate
        information from database search results and from digitized journals
        for analysis of publication and citation behavior. The current study
        describes methods and results from a bibliometric and citation
        analysis of the electronic Version of the Proceedings of the
        Oklahoma Academy of Science. This study illustrates the
        opportunities as well as the challenges for bibilometrics and
        citation analysis in the electronic environment. As more journals
        migrate to the digital environment, issues of access, copyright and
        fair use, online file formats, and idiosyncrasies in the digital
        files may limit the opportunities for bibliometric analysis. (C)
