Manage
Based on the proven Evidence Based Stock Management (EBSM) methodology, cHQlite delivers easy-to-use action plans to support efficient, cost-effective collection management.
Maintain – identify and replace missing and long overdue material from your catalog so that patrons can access the books they need when they need them.
Remove – weeding Dead or Grubby materials from your collection can be time consuming and requires a regular commitment for maximum effectiveness. The easy-to-use action plans from cHQlite can help you manage your collection more efficiently.
Renew – materials and reading trends change, what may be relevant or interesting to your patrons when you first purchased it may now be out of date. cHQlite can help to identify which materials are due to be refreshed.
