Abstract: Library Quarterly's seventy-fifth anniversary invites an analysis 
of the journal's bibliometric dimension, including contributor attributes, 
various author rankings, and citation impact. Eugene Garfield's HistCite 
software, linked to Thomson Scientific's Web of Science, as made available 
by Garfield, for the period 1956-2004, was used as the core database for 
analysis in this essay. A brief comparison of Library Quarterly contributor 
citation impact and that of College & Research Libraries is also provided. 
Library Quarterly continues to attract a roster of highly productive, 
international scholars.
