Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to show that when the output of the literature of a scientific/technical field during one given year is identified and when this output is compared against a library's holding, it is possible to determine the Current Collecting Intensity CCI level of the collection in that field.

Keywords:Collection evaluation, Bradford distribution, Semiconductors literature, Bibliometrics analysis.
Subjects:B. Information use and sociology of information. > BB. Bibliometric methods.
