Abstract:
Assessing the information needs of a multidisciplinary academic community
presents challenges to librarians managing journal collections. This case
study analyzed the literature used by the neuroscience community at the
University of Maryland to determine the following about the publications
they cited: their type, their discipline, and how recent they were relative
to the citing publication. The authors searched the ISI Science Citation
Index and Social Sciences Citation Index to identify the publishing,
citing, and coauthoring patterns of both faculty and graduate students to
inform library decisions about collecting journals and other types of
literature.
