Book Collection Analysis Tools
From: "Cecilia Harel" <harel_at_univ.haifa.ac.il>

We are a medium-sized university library and are considering doing an analysis of our 
monograph collection. I would be happy to receive replies to the following:

1.       Recommended collection analysis tools (we are aware of  OCLC's  Collection 
Analysis Tool and Bowker's Book Analysis System). Are there others?

2.       Comments from libraries that have used any of the collection analysis tools 
regarding their usefulness, effectiveness.

3.       What kinds of conclusions/actions you took as a result of your collection analysis?

You may reply directly to me <harel_at_univ.haifa.ac.il> or to the list.


Thank you,
