- Collection Development Analysis Using OCLC Archival Tapes. Final Report. Evans, Glyn T. And Others College Libraries Computer Programs Development Library Administration Library Automation Library Collections Library Material Selection The purpose of this project is to develop a set of computer programs to perform a variety of collection development analyses on the machine-readable cataloging (MARC) records that are produced as a byproduct of use of the online cataloging subsystem of the Ohio College Library System (OCLC), and made available through the OCLC Distribution Tape Service. To test the programs, a tape of 32,138 OCLC/MARC records representing the combined online cataloging of four academic institutions over a 12-week period beginning January 10, 1977 are analyzed. The results are evaluated by the project advisory group composed of representatives from the four institutions, and the programs are evaluated by a program design consultant. The project demonstrates that valuable and important management information about a library collection development program can be derived from OCLC/MARC records. (Author)
