  • Guttman Scale Analysis: An Application to Library Science. Burgin, Robert Library Science Library Surveys Mathematical Models Measurement Techniques Public Libraries Scaling Statistical Analysis Tables (Data) Outlines the general techniques of Guttman scale analysis and briefly describes its uses in social science research. To illustrate the potential application to library science, a Guttman scale of restrictiveness in dealing with overdue books is developed and data from a 1986 survey of public libraries are fitted into the scale.
