This is my first time writing to this discussion list.  I have been asked to
compare our psychology collection with the collections of other libraries of
similar size.  With the absence of CACD, I have made comparisons by subject
headings which are not as accurate as call number ranges.  The totals for
each of the subjects are at best "estimates", since I can only build lists
of call numbers on my own catalog.  Does anyone know of other programs that
might be available to run comparisons?  Does anyone have a suggestion of how
a comparison of this nature could be run accurately without the use of CACD?
