| contents | Cite Globally, Analyze Locally: Citation Analysis from a Local Latin American Studies Perspective Schadl, Suzanne M. Todeschini, Marina Citation Analysis Spanish Portuguese Latin American Literature Use Studies Library Materials Library Research Library Services Doctoral Dissertations Journal Articles Intellectual Disciplines Comparative Analysis Case Studies Performance Factors Academic Libraries Foreign Countries This citation analysis examines the use of Spanish- and Portuguese-language books and articles in PhD dissertations on Latin America at the University of New Mexico between 2000 and 2009. Two sets of data are presented: The first identifies the use of Spanish- and Portuguese-language books and articles across 17 academic departments; and the second analyzes how well local holdings meet demands for a select geographical area--Mexico. These local data contradict conclusions in general citation studies of the humanities, social sciences and foreign languages. They prove that preconceived ideas about foreign language usage from general citation studies do not provide reliable templates for local acquisition decisions. Librarians need to look at their research communities and local usage habits instead of relying on general studies for answers. |
