Summary:

"...Basically I was doing a citation analysis of citations made by our researchers to aid collection development. The idea here was to see if there was a good fit of our collection with what users are using and gauge potential demand for Document Delivery/Inter-Library....But what does "in your collection" mean? This of course would include things you physically hold and subscribed journal articles etc....Preliminary results:  I'll talk about the sampling method later, but essentially, In my first exploratory data collection (with help of colleagues of mine) , I found that of the citations made, 79.7% were to items in our collection (either print or subscribed) and of the remaining cited another 13.4% were freely available by searching Google Scholar...."
