Walk through the State Library’s new Collection Analysis Initiative, with an overview of the available resources to consider the children’s and young adult books in a library’s collections, programs, and displays. This webinar will guide attendees through learning how to import data and use the tools to purposefully reflect, augment, compare, and determine which titles best fit their community’s needs. Attendees will receive a plan that both helps them implement their decisions and equips them to continue using these tools in future practices.

Throughout 2022, library staff have explored resources, attended webinars<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/ohio-collection-analysis-initiative/#RecordedWebinarsandWorkshops> and open office hours<https://library.ohio.gov/services-for-libraries/library-programs-development/ohio-collection-analysis-initiative/#OfficeHours>, and used tools to consider collections that empower children and young adult readers by respecting and appreciating what makes them different and the same. The initiative is ongoing—register for access at any time, start when you are ready, and work at your own pace.
