Web of Science ® : How the Dataset was Created Searched WoS for EMU authors. Data was downloaded and saved as CSV file. Authors and Cited References were formatted in a single field. This field was parsed using Perl scripts creating the tables of authors, published articles and citations. The three resulting tables were all imported into an Access database. This database was used to determine the most frequently published EMU authors and cited journals. We determined % of EMU ownership/access to 244 articles and 8,643 article citations.

8. Please comment on how well EMU library resources supported your research for the articles you published between 2005-2007. “ We only have the basics. Cutting edge journals, the newest books, international resources have to be located from other sources.” “ The resources were adequate, but could be better. If I could not access it at EMU, I went to U of M. I feel I should be able to access everything I need via EMU.” “ I got all the help that I needed from the Library. Thank you!” “ Fairly well. It would be nice if we had more journals online.” “ I was able to get most articles through paper journals, electronic access to journal articles, or ILL.”
