• W23250923 abstract "Science Index Data as a Safety Net for Basic Science Books Considered for Weeding Older basic science books that failed to meet other criteria for collection retention were checked in Science Index. Citations per book varied from 200 references to none, with the more heavily cited works eventually retained. While a manual search of three years of the printed Science Index proved highly feasible and reliable, use of the online version for this purpose is awkward. Book titles are not given on the online version, reducing its reliability for weeding decisions. Science Index can be useful in collection decisions for basic science books. This paper describes a study conducted using a population of basic science books from an academic health sciences library collection. All the books in the study were more than ten years old and failed to meet other criteria for retention in the collection. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND indexes are based on the theory that authors citing the same paper have a subject relationship. The citation index thus includes references to journal articles and books, arranged alphabetically by author.[1] Indexes such as Science Index consist of three main sections: a section listing current references to journal articles, a keyword index based on title words, and a citation index. The citation index is compiled from the bibliographies of the papers indexed for the current year.[2] Science Index has been used for decisions regarding journal collections.[3,4] Studies on book collections have generally relied on other criteria. These criteria have included past usage and age of the materials.[5] Consideration has also been given to qualitative worth, but physical condition was considered an ineffective criterion, as poor condition might only indicate heavy use of the material.[6] The only two reports located in the literature that considered use of a citation index in book collection development differed in their views of the feasibility of the process. Also, both of these studies considered arts and humanities literature rather than that of science, the area evaluated in this study. In 1978 Koenig did not test the theory he proposed but only noted, Citation analysis might in fact ultimately prove to be a feasible technique for collection management of nonjournal literature in the arts and humanities. He noted that what follows is purely speculative and must await the availability of citation data on a large scale before it can be analyzed.[7] In 1986 Budd tested the theory using books in the field of American literature and concluded that results...do not provide a great deal of support for Koenig's optimism.[8] Scientific literature has been represented in citation indexes for a longer period of time than has that of arts and humanities, and the present study found potential use for citation analysis in evaluating monographic literature in the sciences. CASE STUDY BACKGROUND The collection under study was overcrowded and weeding was imperative. A combination of factors made it desirable for the librarians themselves to identify potentially useful books in the basic sciences even if the books had not already circulated frequently. First, the university was increasing its emphasis on basic science research. Second, existing faculty offices were widely scattered, making it difficult to consult faculty members repeatedly. Finally, a highly cited work might prove valuable to incoming faculty, several of whom were to be recruited as part of the university's program. Librarians were asked to evaluate the items considered for weeding, but none of them had expertise in all basic science areas. In addition, relying solely on such input is simply another form of subjective weeding. It is based on the assumption that librarians know their collection, an assumption criticized by Slote, who preferred more objective measures such as use studies. …" @default.
