Abstract: 
This study examined the relationship between print journal use, online 
journal use, and online journal discovery tools with local journal 
citations. Local use measures were collected from 1997 to 2004, and 
negative binomial regression models were designed to test the effect
that 
local use, online availability, and access enhancements have on citation

behaviors of academic research authors. Models are proposed and tested
to 
determine whether multiple locally recorded usage measures can predict 
citations and if locally controlled access enhancements influence
citation. 
The regression results indicated that print journal use was a
significant 
predictor of local journal citations prior to the adoption of online 
journals. Publisher-provided and locally recorded online journal use 
measures were also significant predictors of local citations. Online 
availability of a journal was found to significantly increase local 
citations, and, for some disciplines, a new access tool like an Op!
enURL 
resolver significantly impacts citations and publisher-provided journal 
usage measures.
