Hello-

Has anyone used OCLC's Collection Analysis Tool? I work with a group of 
transportation libraries who are interested in analyzing their collections 
with the aim of cooperative collection development. We had a demo from OCLC 
last fall and it was quite impressive. Since then I've talked to a major 
university library that was completely dissatisfied with the product. I've 
read the most recent articles I could find, but the CA tool is still new 
and there really isn't much out there.

If anyone would care to share their experiences with the OCLC CA tool (or 
recommend another product), I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

Maggie
