===Citation analysis===
[[Citation analysis]] is the method most used on the college and university level. This method looks at frequently used citations from bibliographies, indexes, and references to see if the resources used are included in the learning institute's partner library.<ref>{{Cite journal |url= http://www.istl.org/05-summer/refereed.html |title= Citation Analysis: A Method for Collection Development for a Rapidly Developing Field |last= LaBonte |first= Kristen |date= Summer 2005 |journal=Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship |issue= 43 |doi= 10.5062/F4TX3CB1 |accessdate= October 13, 2014}}</ref> The purpose is to see if the written work produced can be done using only the library located at the college or university. Citation analysis is a good research method to use in academic libraries on the university and college level when performing a collections evaluation. This method is performed by studying bibliographies from many sources such as student papers, faculty research publications, along with theses and dissertations. This information is then used to see what percentage of the items cited in the bibliographies have come from the academic library's collection. Citation analysis is used to see if the work produced at the university or college has been written using sources mainly from the academic library at that learning institution.
