Analyzing library search data reveals user journal needs. This quantitative method can guide collection development and estimate demand for online scientific journals.

Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Library Science
  • Information Retrieval

Background:

  • Libraries face challenges in accurately assessing user journal needs.
  • Traditional methods may not fully capture the dynamic nature of information seeking behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a quantitative method for measuring library user journal needs.
  • To utilize bibliographic search results for assessing journal requirements.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective bibliometric analysis of citation selections made by library users.
  • Quantifying the frequency of journal identification across multiple search sessions.

Main Results:

  • Library users identified 4907 unique journal titles.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The top 200 journals satisfied 55% of identified user needs.
  • A significant number of unique titles were identified infrequently.

    • Conclusions:

    • Bibliographic search result analysis is a viable method for determining library user journal needs.
    • This approach can inform collection development and predict demand for digital scientific journals.
