Abstract
When evaluated for promotion or tenure, faculty members are increasing ly judged more on the quality than on the quantity of their scholarly publications. As a result, they want help from librarians in locating all citations to their published works for documentation in their curr iculum vitae. Citation analysis using Science Citation Index and Socia l Science Citation Index provides a logical starting point in measurin g quality, but the limitations of these sources leave a void in covera ge of citations to an author's work. This article discusses alternativ e and additional methods of locating citations to published works.
