Being the first of the month, the librarian compiles statistics to show use of various resources both print, electronic, and physical (the rooms and computers). What do numbers tell us? Is more really better?
A Quick Search in GALILEO using the word statistics pulled up an interesting array of articles.
MasterFile Premier's (Ebsco) list of 125744 articles started with two articles from the Journal of Economic & Social Measurement but followed up with two articles from World Almanac For Kids!
Research Library (ProQuest) pulled up 155598 and put two articles from Computers & Operations Research first!
What do the numbers tell us? There's a lot of writing going on about statistics. Numbers sometimes tell a very clear story but then again sometimes the numbers are just numbers.
Ask your Georgia Librarian for the password to use GALILEO at home.
