  • Title: Combining new technologies for effective collection development: a bibliometric study using CD-ROM and a database management program.
    Author: Burnham JF, Shearer BS, Wall JC.
    Journal: Bull Med Libr Assoc; 1992 Apr; 80(2):150-6. PubMed ID: 1600424.
    Abstract:
    Librarians have used bibliometrics for many years to assess collections and to provide data for making selection and deselection decisions. With the advent of new technology--specifically, CD-ROM databases and reprint file database management programs--new cost-effective procedures can be developed. This paper describes a recent multidisciplinary study conducted by two library faculty members and one allied health faculty member to test a bibliometric method that used the MEDLINE and CINAHL databases on CD-ROM and the Papyrus database management program to produce a new collection development methodology.
