Collection Maintnance
The EBSM Collection Maintenance Tools are designed to ensure that the library catalog is in a fit and healthy state to support the EBSM methodology. Inaccuracies with the catalog can produce erroneous results and advice within the EBSM Action Plans, as well as inaccurate performance reporting over time.
Use of the EBSM Collection Maintenance Tools below will help to eradicate or minimize the effect of this.
| Tool | Collection | Description |
