4 cited references to one of my papers

In 1991 while I was at St. John's University, I wrote this paper:


How to Avoid Science Anxiety Among Science Librarians Page Range: 11 - 19 DOI: 10.1300/J122v12n01_03 Copyright Year: 1991

Abstract:
Science librarians not educated in the sciences can be effective in reference, collection development, bibliographic instruction, and database searching if they understand issues in science and technology that affect the general public and are trained properly on the job. Since library school education in science/technology librarianship can not completely prepare one for a career, chief science librarians must train new employees in all phases of their jobs. In the interviewing process the library manager must ascertain that the candidate is interested in science, willing to learn necessary skills, and not afraid to handle difficult reference questions. Science anxiety among science librarians can be avoided.

I just found out today through using Google Scholar
