  1. Testing the CCM Tool University Of Manchester Library, Collection Management Jane Podmore, Processing and Projects Team Leader

  2. Purpose of trial • Very small study on a section of stock at University of Manchester Library • Used it as an exercise to teach myself how to use the CCM Tool • Hoped to identify a percentage of stock that could be withdrawn

  3. Method • Section of books at 001.642 ABE to 001.642 BOF • Noted barcodes for these items, entered into a spreadsheet, and checked them on Talis • Saved Bib ids into a .csv file. • Batch search on the CCM tool trying all the deduplication options and the results were the same in each case • Search returned 23 items that I pulled back into .csv file for use later • Time spent = approx. an hour in total

  4. Result • Small sample, but proves that we can make use of the tool for weeding slightly newer store stock • Learned how to use the tool and will be able to put it into practice for small samples of data • When ready to pull data from Alma we will be ready to handle larger samples of data

  5. Benefits • Good way to identify stock in Store that can be weeded. With agreement from management we could withdraw materials without as much intervention from other sections. • I now feel confident that if asked to identify stock for withdrawal I will be able to use the CCM Tool efficiently and effectively. • I have also been able to assist the COPAC Team in user testing for the improved interface.
