I am looking for information concerning use studies of periodicals.
Specifically, I'd like to know about articles in progress or recently
published EXCEPT for the Newfoundland study published recently in the
NASIG proceedings (we already know about that one). If anyone has or
is working on a bibliography on this topic that they would be willing
to share with me that would be very much appreciated.
  Also, has anyone has experience using portable barcode readers for
use studies or the like? What poistive or negative experiences have you
had with certain brands or models?
  I would appreciate any replies to be sent to me directly and not on the
list unless you think your comments would be useful to all.
Thank you very much,
