We will be contacting you to review the analysis and consult with you about free solutions to improve your collection. In the meantime, here is a summary of your analysis. In putting the analysis together, we first indicate the average age and number of titles in each part of your collection, then we compare it to a brand new "exemplary" collection that would meet size standards for the number of students in your school. You should then be able to see some of the potential problem areas in your collection and where the collection may fall short of standards. Obviously, what is exemplary for one school may not be completely right for another school, but this does give us a good starting point. You know better than we how your collection is used, so please adapt these recommendations as you see fit. The following summaries highlight the areas that seem the most in need of attention in the report on the next few pages. Please look at your report closely to determine detailed size, age and weeding needs. v With the information you supplied, we were able to successfully categorize 99.8% of your MARC records. If you would like to improve this percentage please contact your Mackin Collection Analyst at 1-800-245-9540. v Throughout the collection, the average date of publication is 2009 or 12 years old. v The average age is 2 years older than recommended. v You currently have 18,843 titles in your collection, of which 18,807 were classified. v When looking at the overall balance of each Dewey section, additional titles needed are 1,030. v Overall your books per student is 22, while your goal is 15 books per student. This calculation does not include the "Unclassified" Category. v Size deficits are greatest in the 300s, 500s and 700s areas. v The oldest areas are the Professional, 900s and 000s. "Research consistently demonstrates that well-equipped, quality school library media centers with professional staff directly relate to the academic success of their students." --Keith Curry Lance, 2005 These facts may be helpful when presenting your analysis to others: v One of the primary features of the LSL program—increasing the size of the book collections—was significantly related to increased test scores. On average, each additional book per student that libraries obtained was associated with an increase of 0.44 percentage points in student test scores.¹ v Students are more likely to succeed when they have library programs that are well staffed, well funded, technologically well equipped, well stocked, and more accessible.² Reference: 1.
