X Abstract

The WorldCat Collection Analysis (WCA) service can now evaluate a library's circulation activity to help identify potential collection development opportunities. Installed on November 12, 2007, the new enhancement enables libraries to analyze their circulation data to see how their collections are being used. Information about collection usage can inform decisions about weeding, movement to off-site storage, budget allocation, digitization and acquisitions. The data within circulation analysis gives a library the ability to identify: what items are circulating, what items are not circulating, how frequently items are circulating, the average number of checkouts per title circulated, and total checkouts by circulation date. Adapted from the source document.
