New Predefined Peer Groups Added to WorldCat Collection Analysis
WorldCat Collection Analysis now offers new Predefined Peer Groups for comparing a library's collections to renowned collections by subject or user-population served. The new groups include:
- HAPLR Public Library Rankings — a list of the best Public Libraries broken down by the population size they serve (i.e. 100-250K)
- Top U.S. Nursing Programs — a list of the best collections in Nursing subdivided by specialty (i.e. Mental Health Nursing)
- Google 9 — the nine institutions currently participating in the Google Book Project
WorldCat Collection Analysis will continue to add Predefined Peer Groups to better enable subscribers to assess their collection and collection development policies.
