- Selective Journal Holdings: The Medical Library Association has been sponsoring research
to determine the literature that is most heavily used by the professionals in that
discipline. Ardis Haaland,’s research, "Mapping the literature of dental
hygiene" (Bull Med Libr Assoc 87:3, July, 1999, p-283-286), identifies a core list of
journals where, of a total list of 389 cited journals, 5 journals accounted for 34.5% of
all citations, while 42 additional titls accounted for another 34.5% of citations. URI
subscribes to the top three of 5 journals, 7 of the top 10 journals, and 18 of the top 47
titles. Based on this survey, we provide significant direct access to the literature for
our students and staff.
