  10. Current – OCLC Reclamation • Data clean-up • Ensure common fields for Collection Analysis • E.g. add OCLC numbers if none present • Process • Submit partner requests to OCLC • OCLC adds holdings statements, updates OCLC #s, etc. • Error reports returned for corrections at local level

  11. Current - Collection Analysis • WCA – WorldCat Collection Analysis “group” subscription begins soon • Includes comparison of partner holdings (journals, monographs, musical scores) in multiple formats (print, microform, electronic) • Identify rare items within US; among partners

  12. Current - Collection Analysis • Data to be considered • Number of copies among partners • Publication date • Availability of secure digital copy • Uniqueness / rarity • Circulation statistics • Acquisition date

  13. Exploring Print-on-Demand options • Easy discovery and immediate access to electronic for patron in online catalog • Makes many fragile, rare titles available 24/7 • Option to order print copy for library or direct patron purchase • Option to request digitization-on-demand for selected titles

  14. Exploring Print-on-Demand options • Catalog example (From Western Libraries, Ontario shared catalog)

  15. Future Plans • Where do we want to go and do? • Data will drive decision-making • Decide on retention policies, document decisions • Develop a storage model • Make informed, collaborative collection development decisions • How will this impact other Maine libraries? • Ability to weed • Resource sharing availability
