| Summary: | <p>The decision-makers of academic library need to face the serious problem about the journal collection evaluation every year, especially in the case of in lack of library funding. This paper proposed a multiple criteria evaluation model based on the citation analysis method. Three criteria of this model are (1) the cited number of library patrons; (2) core journal list proposed by Taiwanese experts and (3) JCR journal list of the high impact factor. In addition to the establishment of the evaluation model, a decision support system, of which not only with the citation data analysis but also having a flexible mechanism for decision makers is provided. The results clearly showed that this evaluation model and decision support system can be drawn from the data of cited ratio and the journal list of Bradford's Law Area. It also showed that the institutional patrons never been cited data, this information can be used as important reference for library manager to delete journal title every year. pp. 52-70</p> |
