*21st Century Collection Tools in the Library:
*
We will take a look at how one library is using CollectionHQ, an evidence
based stock management tool, to help make collection management easier and
more efficient. Collection HQ uses historical and current information about
stock use along with local target setting as its evidence base, to assist
librarians in making the management of stock more effective, more customer
focused, less wasteful, and more measured and performance based.

*PRESENTERS
*
*Robin Nesbitt, MLS
*Robin Nesbitt is the Technical Services Director of the Columbus
Metropolitan Library, 2010 LJ Library of the Year.  Robin launched central
selection and floating collections at CML.  She's presented at PLA about
Technical Services efficiencies and does regular Tweet chats about eReaders
and Digital Content.  She was a panel member on Novelist/LJ's 2011 webcast
"Libraries are Essential" talking about readers' advisory as a core service
that libraries continue to offer even in this age of digital readers and
eContent.  At BEA 2011, she was on the panel, "Selling Trade eBooks to
Libraries: The Real Deal and was on the 3rd annual Librarian Shout N Share.
She was a keynote speaker for theLJ/SLJ October 12 webinar - Ebooks: The New
Normal. Robin has been working with collection management issues for the
last 12 years and happy to finally find a BI tool in CollectionHQ. While her
experience with the product is recent, her enthusiasm is mighty!

*Leslie King
*Leslie King has been with CML for 25 years.   For the last 11 years she has
been a Collection Development librarian, responsible for juvenile and adult
nonfiction in a variety of areas.    She is not a “techie” and asserts that
if she can figure out how to use Collection HQ, anyone can.


*Kathy Leonard* has  been a librarian for CML for 24 years, and a selector
for the last eleven years.  She currently selects adult fiction; teen
fiction; and adult and juvenile 700’s. Readers Advisory is a passion. She is
excited about using HQ to test some of her assumptions about what circulates
the most at CML and to data mine our collection in new and exciting ways.
The grubby report (over 60 circulations on a copy) has  provided some
wonderful replacement possibilities and the dead (no circs in the last 6
months or more) is a good way to spot trends.

We look forward to seeing you at the presentation on Wednesday evening,
November 9th, 2011!
