Publisher's Synopsis
Doll and Barron present a "cookbook" approach to collection analysis where they provide the recipe and the reader supplies the ingredients. They show how to analyze the quality of a library collection and how it fits into a framework of managed objectives.;The authors lead the reader though the necessary mathematical calculations and statistics by providing forms where readers just have to fill in the blanks. By utilizing the data generated from this technique in ways the book suggests, it may be possible for librarians to get additional funding for their libraries.
