Boise State is continuing to use the Conspectus, too. We've been doing
the assessment every 5 years (since 1986) and have just started the
latest round.

We'll continue to use it, despite OCLC's decision not to support it.
We've been using it for several years now and have conducted 3 complete
assessments. Not only do we have a great record of how the collection
has changed over time, but the reports drawn from the notes still provide a
great way to target weeding, updating and other collection management
tasks.

We have been using the WLN/OCLC Conspectus database. Is anyone
planning to
continue using the database even though OCLC will no longer be
supporting
it?
Thank you in advance.
