Collection evaluation through citation checking: A comparison of three sources

Collection evaluation is a necessary process if libraries want to be effective. The citation checking technique is one of many methods utilized to evaluate collections. This study was undertaken in order to (1) determine whether different indicators of strength of a collection will be obtained when different types of materials (i.e., monographs, periodicals, and dissertations) are used as sources of citations to be compared with a collection; and (2) determine the reliability of these sources.
