Align library collections with institutional goals and priorities

Choreo Insights is an extensive library analytics solution that uses WorldCat holdings data to align academic library collections with institutional focus areas, emerging curriculum priorities, and future trends.
Further institutional goals and objectives
Investigate overlaps, gaps, and combined collections to ensure optimal resource availability for faculty and students.
Assess collection gaps against authoritative title lists, publisher lists, locally-supplied title lists, and recommended title lists.
Identify cost-saving opportunities between libraries, groups, and consortia to reduce redundancy and relieve budget pressures.
Add shared print analysis to collection planning. Choreo provides the ability for you to analyze your collection from a shared print perspective. This enables you to see the retention status of titles in your collection and whether they are retained by any of the major shared print programs. Continually updated, it allows you to track retention setting activity in WorldCat for collections of interest.
“I would strongly recommend Choreo Insights as an essential tool to any academic institution in need of assessment and collection development analysis to build complementary and interdependent collections.”
Dr. Liladhar R. Pendse
Librarian for East European and Latin American Studies

This means enhanced local collection development and cooperative opportunities to address shared goals. You can use a predefined set of institutions, build out a saved list based on a consortium, or create an ad-hoc group comparison for resource sharing evaluations or other creative ideas.

“Choreo Insights provided us with data that allowed us to seek funding for new materials to support certain academic programs at our college, primarily for an African and African Diaspora Studies program and a Latin American and Caribbean Studies program. We now know which items we’ll need in our collection and will prioritize for purchase as funds become available.”
Dr. Wilma Jones
Professor and Reference/Instruction Librarian
City University of New York—College of Staten Island

You can map your monographs and serials collections directly to academic programs using CIP (Classification of Instructional Program) codes.
