Part+3

__Step 3__: Assume that your school’s media advisory committee (consisting of teachers, parents, and students), __based on a quantitative and a qualitative evaluation__ of the collection, has decided that approximately $1500 of your budget will go to build a general emphasis collection relating to your chosen topic. (A) Four paragraphs describing what we would do to provide committee with quantitative and qualitative data to allow them to reach this conclusion. **Part 3 A** - The first actions necessary to provide the S. S. Boone media advisory committee with quantitative data to justify spending $1,500 for a general emphasis collection would be to conduct a school needs and community needs analysis. The media specialist can conduct both formal and informal surveys for all users of the media center. Participating with departmental meetings and engaging staff and administration in discussions about their opinions or perceptions of the collection is another way to ascertain anecdotal information that may be helpful. Defining the community service area, along with the careful evaluation of the student and community interests that can be served by the library can be accomplished by looking at census/demographic data, community activities, community services and/or agencies that synchronize with the school library and the external factors that positively or negatively impact school library use. Additional justification can be found by utilizing the circulation and statistical information from the automated library management program. Analyzing circulation data can reveal patterns of use, identify significant curriculum support, and indicate areas of weakness. Statistics from the automated system cannot account for non-circulating items; however, adding in-house use statistics can provide realistic information about the types of materials used. Online collection analysis tools usually provided by book vendors, is another action that will provide the in-depth information needed to convince the media advisory committee of the need for the emphasis collection. Vendor based collection analysis can easily identify the areas that fall below standard in terms of average age of collection, main classification percentages, and balanced Dewey comparisons. Creating a collection map will provide the graphic representation of the strengths, weaknesses, curriculum needs, and areas needing weeding. The media specialist can physically move through the school library to ascertain the location and condition of the materials. A well executed collection map delineates each category and can reveal the variety of formats currently available in the collection. The variety of methods available to support budget decisions will provide both qualitative and quantitative data specific targeted to meet the needs of current and future library users.
