crl-16567	White, Bruce	Citations and Circulation Counts: Data Sources for Monograph Deselection in Research Library Collections	2017-04-19	13	.pdf	application/pdf	8209	242	43	The Association of Research Libraries SPEC Kit 337: Print Retention Deci- sion Making noted that “Citation counts are often used as a criterion” in decisions on deselection; but no specific questions on the topic were asked in the survey of American academic libraries—and the technique barely rates a mention in the summary of re- sults—while the use of circulation data is noted in nearly all of the reports.13 She went on, however, to suggest that citation counts had a value in the deselection process independent of usage considerations and that “citation frequency can be used to supplement other measures such as faculty input and frequency of use.”	cache/crl-16567.pdf	txt/crl-16567.txt
