New WorldCat Collection Analysis Best Practices Scenarios Now Available

OCLC has recently released two new Best Practices scenarios:

• Annual Collection Review shows how to use WorldCat Collection Analysis to make and support informed decisions on which titles to retain, weed, and acquire as a result of an annual collection review.
• Introduction to Using Excel® provides a brief introduction to some of the more common actions within Microsoft Excel®, and is designed to help those who are unfamiliar with Excel® gain familiarity with working with spreadsheets.

With these two new Best Practice scenarios, there are now five WorldCat Collection Analysis Best Practice scenarios. They are freely available to all on the WorldCat Collection Analysis documentation page at http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/collectionanalysis/default.htm.
