If you were lead or participate in a discussion group that focused on
assessment as it relates to collection development, what kind of topics
would you like to address or be addressed? I'm going to be leading a
discussion group of this sort for a local ACRL chapter meeting and I'd be
very appreciative if you could share your ideas for topics. Some of mine are:
Internet based tools to use when your institution doesn't purchase the
analytical tools from OCLC (ACAS or iCAS). [example using library catalogs
or WorldCat to compare your institution with chosen benchmarks]
Spreadsheets for journal collection assessment - although this is usually
for 'collection trimming' not 'collection development'.
ACAS or iCAS experience.
Recently produced core collection lists.
Many thanks in advance for any ideas.
Matt
