- An Approach to Assessment of Quality of a University Library Collection. Shabowich, Stanley A. Books College Libraries Evaluation Evaluation Methods Library Collections Library Standards Sampling Statistical Studies Using "Books for College Libraries" as a standard reference against which to compare the Purdue University Calumet Campus library collection, a quantitative analysis of the library's holdings in various subject areas was done during the 1973-74 academic year. For each of the 65 subject areas selected, randomly chosen entries in "Books for College Libraries" were checked against the library's catalog. Statistically it was inferred that the library's holdings in most disciplines do not compare favorably with the holdings identified as important to a college library. In only five cases were more than 60 percent of the volumes in "Books for College Libraries" subject area samples actually found in the Puredue University Calumet Campus library. (DGC)
