Essentially, we were going to "tag" (print) collections to Campus Division and Program so as to better our reporting and analysis capabilities for internal program review, defining a "balanced collection" within the college, and better plan purchases and deselection
holistically. As of right now, we are able to run reporting on Dewey categories, as that is the classification scheme we use. Analytics will not run LC subject headings reporting (though I can search them via Primo), and even if I assign Conspectus categories
to the Dewey - there are many of our programs (trades/APLED) that are left out.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D">Hi All,</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D">We have been working to develop better reporting for decision-making for quite a while here at SCC/SFCC. I was wondering the following:</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in; text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D"><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D">Are you using Alma Analytics beyond Dewey/LC canned reports to determine weaknesses in your collection and strategize weeding/budget decisions? If so, how? (ex: by program, division,
conspectus, etc.)</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in; text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D"><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D">Are you using a budget allocation model toward your overall collection, and if so, would you be willing to share?</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in; text-indent:-.25in"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D"><span style="">-<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">
</span></span></span><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D">Do you use metrics to determine what a “balanced” collection is for your institution? If so, what does that look like?</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D">We have planned some internal use of local 9XX tags to create some reports (through Analytics), but have to go back and “tag” the collection – however, there has been some reservation
about the need to do this work (value) among librarians and I was wondering how colleges like us are using the tools at our disposal.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D">Thank you for anyone willing to share.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Cambria",serif; color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
