The University of Canterbury recently selected Intota™ Assessment from ProQuest as the best solution to address challenges in evaluating usage of their libraries' collections and making collection management decisions based on evidence. Detailed overlap analysis helps a library determine what resources to renew, acquire or weed to generate greater return on investment of their collection.
Additionally, quantitative and qualitative analysis helps identify trends or spot other collection development opportunities.
The university also renewed its subscription to the Summon® discovery service and 360 Link. The library is driving research forward by ensuring access to the full breadth of the library's collection with unbiased search results and providing students with a better discovery experience. The addition of Ulrichs™, 360 MARC Updates and 360 Resource Manager is increasing workflow efficiency in gathering serials information and managing the entire e-resource lifecycle.
Intota Assessment is the market leading library collection analysis and assessment service that provides a holistic view of a library's collection and enables libraries to make accurate decisions based on real evidence. Supported by the authoritative Books in Print®, Resources for College Libraries™, Ulrich's, the ProQuest knowledgebase, and ingested library data including COUNTER reports, its robust suite of business intelligence tools help libraries make informed decisions regarding collection development. With innovative views and collection management metrics, library staff can focus on delivering higher value services to patrons.
