Peer reviewedBarr, Aiala; Sichel, Herbert S. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1991
Discussion of models for library circulation data highlights a new statistical prediction model that creates a flexible regression curve. Linear graphs that result from previous models are discussed, bivariate discrete distributions are explained, and graphs that show library circulation for one year at a time are presented.

Kantor, Pual B.; Shim, Wonsik – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1998
Presents a model of the relation between the circulation at a large library, the collection at that library, and the size of the user population. Analysis of data at United States academic research libraries reveals a square-root law describing this relation. Explores theoretical foundations and speculates on bibliometric implications.
