Researchers believe they may be able to use WorldCat holdings data to estimate the audience level of individual titles.


Worldcat audience distribution

WorldCat Audience Distribution

Median Audience = 0.850

Mean Audience = 0.828

The estimated audience level of individual titles would be useful for collection development decisions, readers’ advisory, and reference services
