This is a reminder that registration for the 2017 CARLI Collections Data Analysis and Maintenance Forum, jointly sponsored by the Collection Management and Technical Services Committees, closes on Wednesday, April 12. The link for registering is here. More information is below.
The Collections Data Analysis and Maintenance Forum will take place Friday, April 28, at Governors State University. Morning sessions cover building capacity for collection assessment, ILL data analysis after journal cancellations, and CARLI resources for collections assessment and evaluation. Afternoon sessions break into two tracks, collections and technical services. Collections sessions focus on assessment of e-books and e-journals, radical collection management, COUNTER, and AWStats. Technical Services cover modifying CARLI Access queries, collection evaluation using UB stats, shareable metadata in DPLA, and global database maintenance approaches and tools. Attendees are welcome to attend any sessions of interest in either track.
CARLI will provide box lunches (sandwich, side, and cookie) and a drink for lunch. The intended audience is staff and librarians from CARLI member libraries interested in collection assessment and data maintenance.
