This study looks at how well the collections in the Hesburgh Libraries of Notre Dame met the needs of anthropology faculty in their research and publications. A citation analysis of their publications was used to answer the following questions: What were these faculty members citing in their published research? Where were they publishing their research? Did the library own these cited items and the publications in which the faculty were publishing? Findings indicate a need for additional funding for further development of anthropology collections at Notre Dame to support anthropology faculty at the university in their research and publication endeavors.
