Abstract
Conspectus is a system developed in North America for measuring collection levels. Its application in Scotland by the eleven major Scottish research libraries is the first group Conspectus in Europe. Each library in the Working Group on Library Co-operation, which works actively to promote interlibrary cooperation, is carrying out the conspectus of its own holdings, with central coordination provided by the National Library of Scotland This article explains how Conspectus in Scotland was planned and implemented. Readers of this article will wish to know of an article in the Journal of Librarianship, April 1987, 19 (2), entitled 'Collection development in the British Library: the role of the RLG Conspectus' by Stephen Hanger.
