Abstract

Spatial analysis of usage data for a new open-access library and information science e-journal indicates that within the US the geographic distribution of page views is similar to the geographic distribution of the sponsoring program's alumni locations. Outside the US, the geographic distribution of page views was greatest in Europe, followed by Asia, Africa and South America. The top two most frequently downloaded articles are both related to classic children's literature, a content analysis of Cinderella storybooks in the de Grummond Collection and a collection analysis of Little Red Riding Hood in the de Grummond Collection.
