As the readings suggest I would be looking at using both
quantitative and qualitative methods of evaluation to assess the strengths and
weaknesses of the collection regarding, teacher’s needs, student individual
learning needs and wants and curriculum requirements.
Evaluating a library’s collection to highlight strengths and
weakness that can assist in satisfying the needs and wants of client and the
goals of the library is the major consideration when conducting an evaluation.
Therefore, evaluating the collection will outweigh the difficulties associated
with performing an evaluation and the most appropriate method outweighs the
selection of the most simple method.
With time restraint I believe the best method would be to
complete an evaluation of a section at a time, focusing first on the section in
need of a clear change.
I do recognise that there are barriers associated with
collection evaluation such as experienced staff, collecting data, deciding what
to do with the data and of course time, that will greatly affect who, when and
how a collection evaluation is done.
