Report of the Collection Development Executive Committee Task Force on Print Collection Usage, Cornell University Library

Reporting to Collection Development Executive Committee (CDExec), the Task Force on Print Collection Usage will conduct a wide-ranging study of the use of the circulating print collections of the Cornell University Library. The Task Force will analyze circulation data (and other measures of use, as appropriate) for recent acquisitions, as well as historical trends in collection use at Cornell, for the full range of subject areas. The group will consider usage in the context of the various disciplines and their representation at Cornell, taking factors such as language and potential readerships into account. The Task Force will work with individual selectors to understand collection use in relation to research needs in their subject areas.
