Changing DemographicsDemonstrates how to expand your library's collection to better serve a targeted segment of your constituency. The tutorial shows how to determine the strength of your current collection and build a prioritized acquisitions list based on peer comparisons and items frequently borrowed via ILL.
Introduction to using Excel® with WorldCat Collection Analysis
Provides a brief introduction to some of the more common actions within Microsoft Excel®. You can practice using the exercises as you watch the tutorial or view the tutorial and complete the practice exercises at a later time.
Preparing for Digitization ProjectsDemonstrates how to use WorldCat Collection Analysis to identify unique items in your collection for inclusion in a digitization project. Includes examples of how to export records to create spreadsheets that support your decision-making

Example – Special CollectionExample – Special Collection
• Special Collection that cannot be used for lending
• Consulted with:
• Head of Special Collections
• Individual curators
• Created Local Holdings Records
• 008/byte 20 – Will not lend
• 008/byte 21 – Will not reproduce
• Result
• Fill rate is up to 56% from 49%
Example – eSerialsExample – eSerials
Goal
• Be able to show patrons what e-journals are available
• Not get ILL requests from e-journals that they don’t have the rights to use for interlibrary loan
• Fill requests for titles they do have the rights to use for interlibrary loan
Example – eSerialsExample – eSerials
Approach
• Set holdings on E-journals using the OCLC eSerials Holdings service
http://www.oclc.org/us/en/eserialsholdings/overview/default.htm
• Policy Level deflection
• Create LHRs for those titles that can be used for interlibrary loan
• 008/byte 20 – Will not lend
• 008/byte 21 – Will not reproduce
General Deflection StatisticsGeneral Deflection Statistics
• 1.2 million deflections
• Estimate approx 40% are LHR-related deflections
• 1,500 institutions have set deflection policies
• 2,200 deflection policies

Initiatives
Going Green!Going Green!
Initiative : Going Green/Saving ResourcesInitiative : Going Green/Saving Resources
What does it cost to:
Maintain a single piece of paper for 1 year: $20.11
Each time a document is lost it costs $120 to retrieve it
• 3% of all documents are misfiled
Each filing cabinet costs approx $1000/yr to maintain
According to The International Records Management Trust (1995) has made some
interesting estimates: and Weiss (Weiss, M.J. (1994, November). The paperless office,
Journal of Accountancy. pp. 73-76. 1994)
Initiative : Going Green/Saving ResourcesInitiative : Going Green/Saving Resources
New Categories for Users (Summer 2009)
• Items would stay in these categories for the life of the request, no need to maintain paper copy of the request
• Add a SHIPPED category
• Adding a RECEIVED category
Initiative : Going Green/Saving ResourcesInitiative : Going Green/Saving Resources
Tracking (Summer 2009)
• UPS, DHL, FedEx, USPS
• Implement APIs in WCRS, web services, VDX
• Re-implement “will supply” category
• With barcode reader to enter tracking number in and move to SHIPPED
Initiative: Buy It / Document SupplierInitiative: Buy It / Document Supplier
Deflection (Summer 2009)
• Based on local holdings, the lender that has up-to-date local holdings can elect to not receive requests for which they do not hold the item
Reasons for no: Deflection (Summer 2009)
• Lenders want the ability to set what the reason for no is in the case that multiple reasons apply, for a specific policy
Initiative: Buy It / Document Supplier Initiative: Buy It / Document Supplier
Auto-trigger RECEIVED after XX days (Summer 2009)
• This would be a solution for IFM on SHIPPED/UNDO SHIPPED/NOT RECEIVED
• This would help our lenders receive IFM payment accurately, not forcing libraries to invoice one another
