Abstract
This study analyzes the citations of 50 Doctor of Nursing Practice dissertations as part of an academic library's preparation to support a university's new Doctor of Nursing Practice program. The study demonstrates that peer-reviewed journals are by a large margin the information resource used the most in preparing Doctor of Nursing Practice dissertations, and it develops a list of serials titles with the most heavily weighted impact. The issue of resource currency is analyzed, and the study finds a heavy reliance on recent information sources. The study follows a method that can serve as a model for other libraries preparing to support new doctoral programs.
