Overlap Analysis of Electronic Resources in Multiple Electronic Collections

To achieve collection development analysis of libraries' electronic holdings, the Overlap Analysis Tool can be used to support multiple use cases.

Some of the main use cases which we will look at in a live session are as follows:

When considering to order an electronic collection, which part of this electronic collection is already covered in other existing electronic collections. This can be used to avoid content overlap and purchasing of duplicate resources.
When considering to cancel electronic collections, what full text access would be lost if a resource were cancelled.
When the institution receives a file with a list of resources from a vendor which resources are and are not already in Alma.
