This paper explores the enhancement of library collections through the integration of the RCAABUT (Research, Curate, Authenticate, Acquire, Build Collections, Utilize, Track) process within ALMA. The RCAABUT process provides a systematic approach to the selection, acquisition, management, and continuous optimization of library resources by leveraging real-time usage data and advanced analytics. By utilizing a cloud-based platform, libraries can improve accessibility, scalability, and collaboration while ensuring efficient and data-driven collection management. The paper details the implementation steps of the RCAABUT process, highlights the benefits of cloud integration,and presents case studies demonstrating its impact on resource relevance and user satisfaction. The findings underscore the importance of a holistic approach to resource curation and usage tracking, offering practical recommendations for libraries aiming to enhance their collections in a dynamic and user-focused manner.
