Frequency Analysis Introduction

FREQUENCY STATISTICS.
The following statistical tables report the frequency of
Library of Congress subject headings, Library of Congress
classification values and Dewey decimal classification values
used in bibliographic records of materials pertaining to the
preservation of archival and library materials. Bibliographic
citations used for this purpose were listed in one or more of the
following bibliographies:
Banks, Paul N. A selective bibliography on the conservation of
research library materials. Chicago, IL : Newberry Library,
1981.
Cunha, George Martin. Conservation of library materials.
Metuchen, N.J. : Scarecrow Press, 1972. Volume 2.
Cunha, George Martin. Library and archives conservation.
Metuchen, N.J. : Scarecrow Press, 1983. Volume 2.
Fox, Lisa. A core collection in preservation. Chicago, IL :
American Library Association, 1988.
Fox, Lisa. "A two year perspective on library preservation."
Library resources & technical services. 30 (July/September
1986), 3 : 290-318.
Morrow, Carolyn Clark. A conservation bibliography for
librarians, archivists, and administrators. Troy, NY :
Whitston Publishing Company, 1979.
Bibliographic citations were searched in and information
recorded from bibliographic records found in the Research
Libraries Information Network (RLIN). Repeated citations were
searched only once. Bibliographic searching was restricted to
monographs, serials and periodicals due to the nature of the
bibliographic database. Journal articles, therefore, were not
searched. The universe of citations reflected the biases of the
bibliographies. As a result, emphases were primarily on book and
paper materials. The final tally of citations was just over 653
titles.
Separate reports have been generated for Library of Congress
subject headings, Library of Congress classification values and
Dewey decimal classification values. Each report contains two
tables. The first table details frequency of occurrences,
arranged either alphabetically or in the order of the
classification scheme. The second table details cumulative
frequency, arranged hierarchically by extent of frequency. Only
those occurrences which had more than one percent frequency were
listed.
