- W1516774978 abstract "A Tool for Comparative Collection Analysis: Conducting a Shelflist Sample to Construct a Collection Profile Shelflist samples have been advocated as a method of collection evaluation, but few discussions of the use of such samples are found in the literature. A random sample of 5 percent of the shelflist at Louisiana State University was studied to provide detailed information about the distribution of imprints according to age and language of publication, percentage of duplication, and distribution of serial and monographic formats in each subject section of the collection. The resulting collection profile provides a multi-dimensional, quantified description of the collection using a different analytical approach than either a shelflist measurement or the RLG Conspectus. It is difficult, even with years of experience, for librarians to determine the characteristics of a large library collection. When new library administrators, collection managers, subject bibliographers, or reference librarians are hired, they must quickly familiarize themselves with a new collection. For many years, the paramount method of collection analysis or assessment was checking benchmark bibliographies, a method that analyzes only one segment of a collection at a time. In the decade of the 1970s, quantitative methods of collection assessment gained wide acceptance. One such method is the shelflist count, which gives a title count for each subject classification/call number division. Although a shelflist count is useful both locally and for comparison with similar data from other libraries, shelflist counts are strictly one-dimensional measures. That is, shelflist counts give a quantitative profile of a library collection from only one point of view, the number of titles or volumes in each call number grouping. Effective collection evaluation and management require a more thorough knowledge of the content of a library collection than simply the number of titles in specific call number categories. Although an annual shelflist count has been conducted at the Louisiana State University Library since 1976, the method's inherent limitations prompted the humanities and science bibliographers at LSU to seek a profile of the collection that would yield more detailed information, such as the distribution of imprints according to the date of publication; the distribution and/or clustering of foreign language imprints by date and call number; the number and distribution of both monographic and serial titles; and the amount and distribution by call numbers and library location of duplicate copies. The best method for obtaining such data is a shelflist sample incorporation all of these variables. Conducting a shelflist sample is not a recent innovation; it is a proven technique, advocated in Hall's Collection Assessment Manual[1] and in the Manual for the North American Inventory of Research Library Collections prepared by Reed-Scott.[2] However, there have been only a few recent discussions of shelflist sampling for the purpose of collection analysis in national collection development forums and in the library literature. An early use of shelflist sampling was by Fussler[3] who began his classic study of the use of books in large research libraries by selecting a sample from the shelflist. An article by Goldstein and Sedransk[4] in 1977 reported on the use of a shelflist sample to evaluate and compare the Jewish history collections of seven university libraries in New York. While restricted to one specific subject, the article pointed out the value of shelflist sampling for resource sharing. Another shelflist sampling project was reported by Burr[5] in 1979. In this project, the shelflist sample was used to evaluate the library's holdings for their support of the instructional programs of the university. In 1980, Magrill and Rinehart[6] used a shelflist sample of a small part of a collection to select books for a preservation study. …" @default.
