Objective: Analyse der Nutzung von Zeitschriftenbeständen (retrospektive Studie)Design: Auszählung von Bestellungen im Ortsleih- und Fernleihverkehr und Direktversand verschiedener medizinischer Bibliotheken und der ZBMed KölnMain outcome measures: Bestellhäufigkeit einzelner Zeitschriftentitel differenziert nach Orts- und Fernleihe und DirektversandResults: die „Hitliste“ von im Ortsleihbereich und im Direktversand bestellten Zeitschriften war in den Spitzenpositionen stets vergleichbar, differierte jedoch sehr stark von der „Hitliste“ des Fernleihbereiches die in der Fernleihe bestellten Zeitschriftentitel streuen sehr stark, eine echte „Hitliste“ ist fast unmöglich
