Title: | A model for measuring the congestion in library shelves. | Authors: | EGGHE, Leo | Issue Date: | 1999 | Publisher: | Springer | Source: | Scientometrics, 46(3). p. 417-430 | Abstract: | A model for measuring the congestion in library shelves after j years (icN) is obtained by taking j-fold convolutions of the distributions that describe the yearly growth of literature (e.g. periodicals, books on a certain topic, ...) From this one can estimate the expected number of critical points in the shelf, after j years. One can also calculate the probability that there will be m (rn~N) critical points after j years. The paper closes by examining two concrete cases. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/779 | ISSN: | 0138-9130 | e-ISSN: | 1588-2861 | DOI: | 10.1007/BF02459601 | ISI #: | 000084660600004 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2001 |
