    What Was a Library Collection: Overlap among College and University Libraries
    (2016) Shaw, Debora
    Analysis of 26 college and university libraries’ monographic holdings in WorldCat shows that university libraries hold radically more rare titles and their collections are seven times larger than college libraries. Language and Literature (LC class P) accounts for 30% of university and 27% of college holdings. The number of books held declines and the number owned by only one library increases after the 2000 publication year. Since then, total library budgets have barely kept pace with inflation and book budgets have declined as a percentage of library expenditures. These changes align with current emphasis on priorities other than book collections.

    On the Relationship between Library and Information Professionalism and Social Informatics
    (2007-08) Day, Ronald E.
    Social informatics is intrinsic to any profession and to any professional education that deals with information and information technologies. Thus, there is a direct relationship between the professional activities of librarianship and the activities of social informatics. That relationship involves rethinking libraries, library services, and information management agency in terms of what libraries and similar institutions have been, what they are said to be, and what they may be in the future.

    Can Web Citations Be a Measure of Impact? An Investigation of Journals in the Life Sciences
    (Information Today, Inc., for the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2004-11) Vaughan, Liwen; Shaw, Debora
    We examine traditional and Web citations to journal articles in biology and genetics. There is significant correlation between citations in these two formats. Journals with higher numbers of Web citations tend to have more citations indicating intellectual impact (citations from papers or class readings, in contrast to citations from bibliographic services or the author’s or journal’s home page). Web citations show a broader geographic coverage and capture a greater number and variety of uses of journal articles.
