Program Description:
As academic libraries navigate the challenges of limited physical space and evolving resource usage, collaborative collections and shared print programs have gained prominence. Recognized as a key trend in the ACRL's Top Trends for 2023, shared print initiatives demand innovative infrastructure and tools for effective management. In the realm of shared print, overlap analysis of collection metadata remains a persistent challenge, due to the limited availability of specialized tools, varying metadata quality, and the use of diverse inventory management systems among libraries. This session will highlight how the University of Toronto is addressing this challenge head on with the development of a tool to streamline the identification of duplicate resources within the Keep@Downsview shared print program. Utilizing the KNIME Analytics Platform, a versatile open-source, low-code software, the presenter will showcase the methods for conducting comprehensive and effective overlap analysis of library collections. The session will explore the practical approaches employed to match monograph and serial collections, highlighting both the successes and challenges of this Do-It-Yourself (DIY) approach to overlap analysis. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the capabilities and viability of the KNIME Analytics Platform for efficient overlap analysis across diverse library collections.
