SCONE and Collection strength
Conspectus; SCURL: Collaborative Collecting and Dynamic clumping. But: subjective; labour-intensive?
SCONE: Alternatives: Brief tests? List checks? Shelf scans? Automated methods? External evaluation? Citation analysis? User based techniques (Circulation, ILL, DD statistics etc.) ? Professional judgment – key to all?
Interim conclusion: professional judgement in CCD/ user needs environment: agreed methods/peer review
But: an unhelpful, inherently subjective concept?
Strength: strong for who, for what purpose? (CURL)
Disaggregate idea to give users/staff clearer guidance?
