"It’s a really good idea to show improvements in areas, and collectionHQ lets you do that better than pretty much any other program. I’ll use (the graphs) in a presentation for my board, or annual report, or stats for the local newspaper and it shows how we’re improving."

We have intention, strategic objectives, and desire, but the only way to track it is to use collectionHQ.

collectionHQ has helped us to curate to a T a collection that will surprise, delight and honor the library habits of the folks at Bay Village.

We looked at a couple of services but what we liked about collectionHQ was that it didn’t just provide a one-off snapshot in time like some of the other products. We wanted something that would allow us to continue analyzing the collection and give us some benchmarks that we could evaluate performance against over time.

“We needed a tool to help us discover what is circulating well so that we can align our selection accordingly.”

“collectionHQ has made a huge difference. Our collection is now on its way to be right sized and more relevant to the needs of our community.”

“Since April when we introduced the Scheduling Module I can see that Top Charts for Non-Fiction and Fiction have been run 193 times as opposed to 5 before we started scheduling tasks with collectionHQ.”

collectionHQ helps us steadily improve our collection management practices. As a result of using collectionHQ, we are already seeing improvements in our collections. Additionally, it helps streamline the budgeting and transfer process, making it a more efficient and effective process for the library.

collectionHQ helps the Phoenix Library make the best use of our resources while saving staff time. The instant access to monthly collection use is an efficient and enlightening tool for understanding customer demand and changing use patterns.

collectionHQ has proven to be an especially useful tool in supporting weeding projects at The New York Public Library. Neighborhood branch staff use the monthly reports to maintain their collections, address local need, build an audience for new content and identify collection development priorities.

With collectionHQ, we can confidently plan our collection management calendar well in advance, knowing that all our actions are based on an evidence-driven method that has one aim — to improve our collections.

Cornwall Libraries has been using collectionHQ to manage stock since 2007. It is particularly useful in identifying non-issuing stock in self-service libraries, allowing us to transfer items to other branches and maximize the budget spend.
