Web tools for collection analysis provided by vendors:
 * Follett's TitleWise service <@http://www.titlewave.com/help/titlewise.html>
 * An example of one school's analysis: @http://www.shiocton.k12.wi.us/cms_files/resources/HS08MapCollection.pdf
 * PowerPoint describing the service, "Collection Analysis 'How To'" <@http://lusdlibraries.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/collection-analysis-ppt.ppt>. This particular example uses Follett's TitleWise to evaluate a collection that uses Athena as the online catalog system. The idea is the same no matter which cataloging software you use.
 * Note how the librarians use the statistics from TitleWise to buttress their annual report:
