Using WorldShare Collection Evaluation to Analyze Physical Science and Engineering Monograph Holdings by Discipline

Abstract: Academic libraries are challenged with managing collection budgets for purchasing multidisciplinary ebook packages while equitably distributing funds for print and electronic monographs across subjects. McGill Library's science and engineering monograph holdings were analyzed using OCLC's WorldShare Collection Evaluation (WCE). Researchers mapped Conspectus subject divisions and categories to relevant university departments and evaluated holdings in comparison with department metrics to provide a fuller pictur… Show more

“…Context also matters to those who work may be informed by the study of research though research itself is not the direct object of study. For example, the work of collection management researchers must be informed at least in part by how a particular population uses the collection in question [9]. Usability studies may be primarily concerned with issues of design, but the researcher must also take into account the context in which the resource being tested will actually be used [10].…”
