Abstract: A traditional mixed methods research model of citation analysis, a 
survey, and interviews was selected to determine if the Bruce T. Halle Library 
at Eastern Michigan University owned the content that faculty cited in their 
research, if the collection was being utilized, and what library services the 
faculty used. The combination of objective data gleaned from the citation 
analysis and survey coupled with the personal, in-depth information gained from 
the interviews was instrumental in increasing the value of the study for its use 
in collection management decisions, and showed how effectual the services 
and collection are in supporting the research needs of the faculty at EMU.
