LINE and ALEXANDER SANDISON Practical Interpretation of Citation and Library Use Studies Most studies of journal citations and library use are of little if any practical use to librarians and information system designers because of inadequate data collection and analysis. Questions such as the validity of citations as indicators of use, size of sample needed (of sources and of actual citations) in view of the wide variability between journals and vol- umes within journals, the relative use- fulness of different sources of citations, the differences between synchronous and diachronous data, and the problems of forecasting future use, have been dis- cussed elsewhere.	cache/crl-12760.pdf	txt/crl-12760.txt
