Abstract

ABSTRACTIn 2016, the University of Kansas (KU) Libraries began a yearlong subscription to OCLC’s WorldShare Collection Evaluation (CE), similar to a project undertaken 8 years earlier using the OCLC Collection Analysis tool. KU librarians planned to use the data collected to better understand KU’s collections and aid in setting allocations. Due to technical complications with the CE product, librarians had to modify initial project goals. Resulting data from the modified project objectives included identifying potential collaborative collection-development opportunities with Kansas State University in addition to approval plan and collection allocation adjustments based on publisher analyses and ARL benchmarking.
