“…When additional funding is not available, or when funding is discontinued after an initial period, librarians have to resort to canceling subscriptions and relying on document delivery (Lanier & Carpenter, 1994). The tension between the addition of new programs and the lack of funding creates a "zero-sum game" where increase in support for a new program will decrease support for other areas (Chu, 1995, p. 143).…”

“…However, few studies use or allude to citation analysis as a means to aid in a library's response to a new academic program, particularly one at the doctoral level (Kennedy 2006;Lanier and Carpenter 1994;Sinha and Tucker 2005;Wirth and Mellinger 2011). Kennedy (2006) presents an argument for the need of institutions to include academic libraries in the development of new graduate programs.…”

“…She outlines guidelines for the establishment of a formalized library collection evaluation process for the purpose of supporting new academic programs. Lanier and Carpenter (1994) describe a plan to support new academic programs "when even minimal budget increases were not forthcoming for library materials" (Lanier and Carpenter 1994, 15). This plan includes an ongoing serials usage study.…”

This article reports a librarian's collection development efforts to support her institution's first independent doctoral degree (Ed.D., Educational Leadership) via a citation analysis comparing information usage by education doctorate dissertation authors from six peer institutions nationally. This analysis is part of a long-term examination of library collection use among CaliforniaState University, Long Beach (CSULB) doctoral students. Key findings include the relative young age among the information resources in educational leadership, which resource formats were cited, what serial titles were cited the most, and where they are available electronically. The ultimate aim is the creation of an essential collection in the subject discipline.

“…Sinha and Tucker (2005) discuss how the establishment of new academic programs at a quickly growing institution – the University of Nevada, Las Vegas – and the demonstration by librarians of the need to support these programs with library materials can be used to secure additional funding. Lanier and Carpenter (1994) describe the use of a variety of techniques to address the needs of new programs at satellite campuses. These included canceling serial titles to free up money for other titles, relying on journal exchanges between campuses within a system, relying on interlibrary loan, and making a modest ($2,000) request for new funds.…”

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the use of the WorldCat Collection Analysis tool and other measurements to analyze the strengths of collections supporting doctoral programs in a Carnegie Class 1 research university in order to enhance budgetary support for these collections.Design/methodology/approachIn 2006 the Colorado State University (CSU) Libraries were asked to assess the library's support of doctoral programs in 12 key discipline areas. Peer institutions were selected and permission was obtained to access relevant statistics from their collection at the Libraries using the Collection Analysis tool, and relevant metrics for analyzing journal holdings. Use of the metrics for analysis of monograph and journal holdings and comparison of holdings between institutions is examined.FindingsThis case study analyzes how results obtained through use of the Collection Analysis tool and measurements of journal holdings were integrated with results from the broader analysis to achieve a valid comparison between strengths of collections. The authors then look at how this analysis was translated into requests for additional funding for access to materials that would support doctoral level research.Originality/valueThis paper shows how currently available tools for collection management can be used to educate a university community about the budgetary requirements of building graduate research level collections and to make a case for increased funding to support these collections.
