This citation analysis examines the availability of 1313 citations from student research posters across multiple disciplines at a mid-sized university. The study focuses on whether the cited materials are available via the library or freely online. Results indicate only one-fifth of citations were from library proprietary sources while two-thirds were freely available online. Resource age and discipline also influence availability.

Steadfastly We Serve: Library Resilience During The 1918-19 Spanish Influenza Outbreak And Current Covid-19 Pandemic, Blair Stapleton

The Southeastern Librarian

Disruptions occur regularly, regardless of size of impact. Disruptions libraries face can include budget cuts, environmental disasters, building issues, and technological failures.
