WorldCat Collection Analysis

Resource evaluation, comparison and planning

To make the most of your acquisitions budget, you need precise data that reveals your library's subject-matter strengths, gaps, and overlaps. WorldCat Collection Analysis lets you analyze your collection and compare it to other collections without requiring you to expend extensive staff, time, or financial resources.

You'll get the data you want when you want it. You'll be better able to shape your collection development activities and provide solid evidence to justify funding.

“We've been able to establish benchmarks to build on ... and [WorldCat Collection Analysis] has been extremely useful for developing budgets because it’s an independent, objective source of data.”
