District Analysis

Information Needed For District Analysis

In order to complete a district-wide collection analysis, we will need a MARC file that contains all schools within your district. You can find instructions on how to export a MARC file and send it to us on our Send Records page. Please note that our standard district analysis completion takes two weeks. If you need it completed sooner, please email us at caps@mackin.com.

Items Per Students—the national average is 20 IPS. The Mackin default is Elementary-20, Middle-15, and High-10. Is the default setting acceptable?

Do you have a prefix of F or FIC before or after the genre?
The Mackin default adds an eBook category and a Nonprint category for items such as DVDs and CDs. Is the default setting acceptable?
Would you like your World Language titles filtered into an additional category within the analysis?
Are there any other items that you would like as an additional category within the analysis?
Are there any items that you would like excluded from the analyses, such as classroom sets, equipment, magazines, etc.
Mackin’s Collection Analysis will provide a list of the older items in your collection to assist with your weeding process. Please select your Weeding Age Preferences.
Would you like us to email the individual library staff (those with a Mackin account) once their school's Collection Analysis and TitleMatch have been created to let them know about this report?
