Enhancing Cooperative Collection Development: An Analysis of NJ North Group Resources

The WorldCat Collection Analysis Tool empowers libraries within the NJ North Group—comprising Kean, Montclair State, New Jersey City, and Ramapo—to analyze their collections from 1960 to 2007. By examining age, subject content, and identifying strong, average, and weak areas, this tool helps libraries pinpoint gaps and duplicates in their resources. This analysis facilitates targeted collection planning and fosters collaboration among libraries, supporting areas like education, distance learning, and teaching children with disabilities while ensuring better resource allocation and community impact.
