Priority Description
Priority 3: These resources could be cancelled with the least damage to library services. A
small number of users would be inconvenienced or underserved, other access options may be available, or the resource may be redundant to some
extent.
Priority 2: The cancellation of these resources would more severely damage library services. A greater number of users would be inconvenienced or
underserved, other access options may be limited, or the resource is less redundant.
Priority 1: The cancellation of these resources would cause the greatest damage to library service. A greater number of library users would
experience significant inconvenience. The collections would be severely weakened.
Criteria Ranking:
3 = Does not meet criteria well
2= Somewhat meets criteria
1 = Good at meeting criteria
Team Rank = Ranking determined by team of subject librarians organized by broad disciplines: Arts & Humanities, Multidisciplinary, Science & Technology, Social
Science.
Access = Considerations include technical reliability, open URL or Z39.50 compliance, ease of use, accessible remotely, plug‐ins, special accounts needed.
Breadth = Includes the impact on research and/or curriculum needs, and the number of users affected. The number of users affected will be determined by
identifying the departments associated with the resources.
Cost‐Effectiveness = Can be determined by using inflation rates and usage statistics. A rate of increase will be determined by determining the percentage of
increase over a 2 to 3 year renewal period. The Task Force will not use a cost per search, but will compare like statistics and comparable databases.
Uniqueness = Defined as materials covered and overlap with other sources. An overlap analysis can be conducted as needed.
