Collection HQ and EBSM (Evidence Based Stock Management) Methodology
By alicia | October 27, 2010
Have you heard about a Collection HQ and EBSM? I recently attended a webinar and was amazed at what could be accomplished with this application and methodology.
“CollectionHQ is the world leading collection performance improvement solution which is revolutionizing the way many public libraries select, manage and promote their collections. It is a proven product based on our powerful Evidence Based Stock Management (EBSM) methodology developed by public librarians in the UK over the past 18 years.”
The Collection HQ software is internet based, interoperable with any ILS and allows you to easily create a collection built on your patrons needs/requests. The EBSM methodology analyzes current usage information to measure the level of performance throughout your collection and creates a benchmark for your library. Target levels for selection of materials in each area of the collection are established which saves the library valuable time and money and improves performance. This also provides useful information for weeding purposes and budget justifications.
