Some study, no use

Abstract

It has been suggested that library users use libraries and we may presume that the obverse is true, without implying any direct causal relation. This has been confirmed, at least experimentally, by observation (unpublished). We now show that superficially significant statistical studies of user cohorts may be coherently amplified by deconvoluted analyses of a qualitative nature. In other words, what use is library use.
