Three R's Out of Balance? Papers Dykeman, Amy. Faculty Citations: An Approach to Assessing the Impact of Diminishing Resources on Scientific Research. In an effort to assess the impact of diminished library resources on scientific research, the Georgia Tech Library collection was evaluated by analyzing the sources cited in the publications of faculty in the applied and physical sciences for 1989. This study indicates that even with substantial periodical cancellations, the periodical collection supports the majority of faculty needs since they primarily rely on core journals in their disciplines. Other materials cited less frequently in published faculty research--monographs, proceedings, technical reports, other serials, and government documents--are examined. The limitations of this method, its institutionally-specific results, and the need to learn more about the information-seeking behaviors of research science faculty are also discussed. Reinke, Christa Easton. Beyond the Fringe: Administratively Decentralized Collections at the University of Michigan. Little is known about the materials which university departments purchase for their own use. This study examines materials purchased for other departments at the University of Michigan, whether these materials were also held in the University of Michigan University Libraries' collections, and the subjects of the materials purchased. Titles purchased for departmental collections were searched in the Libraries' online public catalog to determine whether they were held by the University Libraries, and if so, their subject. The majority of titles purchased for departmental libraries were held in the University Libraries collection. As a whole, the purchases were concentrated in science, technical, and medical fields; moreover, titles in these fields were more likely than others to be duplicated in the University Library. This study provides initial insight into the relation of independent departmental collections, and raises many questions about the relation of such collections to central university libraries.
