Enough space: leveraging electronic resources to increase student space in the library
Conference Track
2. Collection Development & Assessment
Keywords
Overlap analysis; Maximizing space
Learning Objectives
By the end of this presentation, attendees should understand:
- Why a knowledgebase overlap report is insufficient to inform weeding decisions.
- How to translate individual vendor entitlement reports into a comprehensive list of electronic holdings.
- How to identify areas of print/electronic overlap in specific overcrowded stacks ranges.
Abstract
While knowledgebases can often provide overlap analysis reports for library subscriptions, they fail to acknowledge a difference between perpetual access and leased content, limiting its utility for making decisions relating to weeding. This presentation details the steps involved in identifying print/electronic overlap with the intention of weeding specific stacks ranges.
