This tool uses three reports produced by the automated library catalog: measurement of size of each collection, e.g., fiction, non-fiction, children, etc., this year's circulation for each collection, number of titles added to each collection this year.
As the data from each report is filled in Collection Manager automatically calculates comparisons between these reports. The comparisons suggest how much of which collections to weed and which collections to grow by increasing purchasing of titles in those collections.
