Introduction

This project analyzes the literature in the field of nursing. Specifically, it looks at materials on

the subject of Nursing – Education and Research, corresponding to the Library of Congress

classes RT71-RT81.5.

To find materials within this class range in WorldCat, the following search strategy was used:

lc: RT71 OR lc: RT72 OR lc: RT73 OR lc: RT73.5 OR lc: RT73.7 OR lc: RT74 OR lc: RT74.5

OR lc: RT74.7 OR lc: RT75 OR lc: RT76 OR lc: RT77 OR lc: RT78 OR lc: RT79 OR lc: RT80

OR lc: RT81 OR lc: RT81.5 and cg: 07 and ((dt= “bks”) or (dt= “ser”))

Results were limited to materials held at 50 or more libraries. Materials were also limited to

books and serial publications. This search returned 1,354 records.

The collections of five libraries were analyzed with respect to their materials on nursing

education and research. The libraries are all affiliated with universities with nursing schools in

Philadelphia and Baltimore. Three of these schools (University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins,

and the University of Maryland, Baltimore) have nationally ranked nursing research programs,

while the remaining two (Drexel University and Jefferson University) are less well-known. The

OCLC symbols for these schools are: University of Pennsylvania (PAU), Johns Hopkins (JHW),

University of Maryland, Baltimore (MDU), Drexel University (HHN), and Jefferson University

(TVJ). Some of these symbols are different than those for the main libraries (notably Johns

Hopkins and Drexel), as the medical collections are considered separate from the rest of the

schools’ holdings.

Brief Test Detailed Results

In each of the following tables, an “x” indicates the library holds the item listed, while “no”

indicates the library does not own the title.

Note: Because only 6 items in WorldCat were held at 750 or more libraries (necessary for level

1), the first 10 items in the search were used for level 1, despite having lower counts.

Comparison of Brief Test and Coverage Power Test

Brief Test Coverage Power Test

School RLG Level WLN Level RLG Level WLN Level

Penn 3 3c 4 4

Johns Hopkins 4 4 3 3a

UMB 3 3c 4 4

Drexel 2 3a 2 2a

Jefferson 2 3a 3 3b

Interestingly, the levels attained by each library changed depending on whether a brief test or a

coverage power test was being administered. The University of Pennsylvania, the University of

Maryland, Baltimore, and Jefferson University all scored higher on the coverage power test.

Johns Hopkins, however, went from a research level collection to an instructional collection.

Drexel University’s collection remained more or less the same regardless of the test used.

Because the coverage power test looks at the library’s entire collection instead of only 40 items,

it is likely that the levels for the coverage power test are a more accurate measure of each

library’s collection than is the brief test.

Publish or Perish Journal Impact Analysis

The most widely owned publication in the field is Nurse Educator. According to Publish or

Perish, the three most highly cited works in this journal are:

Benner, P., & Wrubel, J. (1982). Skilled clinical knowledge: The value of perceptual awareness.

Nurse Educator, 7(3), 11-17. (Cited 124 times)

Darling, L.A.W. (1985). What do nurses want in a mentor? Nurse Educator, 10(1), 18-20.

(Cited 98 times)

Piles, Carole L. (1990). Providing spiritual care. Nurse Educator, 15(1), 36-41. (Cited 86

times)

Audience Level Analysis

Two titles from each of the four brief test levels were selected and analyzed using OCLC’s

Audience Level Module. Interestingly, almost all titles selected were identified to be in the

range for the Instructional level (0.51-0.75). This included Basic titles that have a higher

audience level than expected as well as Research titles that have a lower audience level than

expected. While most items were in the Instructional range, the audience levels did increase as

holding counts decreased, as would be expected.
