Jun: Weeding made easy (Washington State Library)


June 3 (10-11 am Mountain)


Collection Manager is a free Excel spreadsheet that analyzes three reports from your automation system, i.e., number of items in each library collection, last year's circulation for each collection, number of titles added to each collection during the past year, to recommend which collections to weed, which collections to expand by buying more titles this year than last year, which collections to buy fewer titles, and even how many titles to purchase in each collection. Chris Rippel will demonstrate how to use Collection Manager and how to interpret the results.
