Abstract
A combination of quantitative and qualitative analyses were used on the journal articles indexed in one vollume of Library Literature. Findings include: the dispersion of articles among journals followed a Bradford-type distribution except for a "collapse" at the end, possibly showing low level of interaction of Librarianship with other fields; considerable proportion of articles was of news-type; administration was the largest single subject covered. The methodology may be appropriate for analysis of activities in other fields. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
