Abstract
Describes a recent study conducted by the British Library Document and Supply Centre (BLDSC) aimed at determining whether its data could provide a useful indicator to the science policy community, as a more forward looking supplement to citation analysis. Finds that patterns of document demand and use measures of information services can provide useful data on the information infrastructure of industrial research.
