Bowker’s Book Analysis System (BBAS), a collection development tool that enables a qualitative analysis of your holdings without laborious, manual comparisons. 


Bowker's Book Analysis System

For Schools and Public Libraries:
Electronically compares your collection to the H.W. Wilson Standard Catalogs and provides you with reports that you can use to identify gaps and duplicates within your collection.


bowker's book analysis system for colleges and universities


For Colleges and Universities:           
BBAS electronically compares your collection to Resources for College Libraries (RCL), the long-awaited academic core title list which is the direct successor to the third edition of Books for College Libraries, 3rd ed. published in 1988.


Resources for College Libraries (RCL)
We are pleased to announce the unique collaboration between Choice, a publishing division of ACRL, and bibliographic authority Bowker, to bring librarians the new Resources for College Libraries (RCL),
the long-awaited successor to the third edition of Books for College Libraries, published in 1988.
RCL
RCL is the basis for a suite of resources for collection development, reference, and bibliographic instruction.
Combining Choice's editorial experience and Bowker's workflow functionality tools, RCL is a premier resource necessary for academic libraries of all sizes.  RCL is the core list of hand-selected print and electronic titles chosen by more than 300 subject-expert editors and contributors. Covering more than 68 curriculum-specific subject areas, RCL is available in both print and web-based editions. In addition, the core list is used as the basis of Bowker's new Book Analysis System for Colleges and Universities (above), a collection-analysis tool that allows the comparison of RCL titles with a library's collection.
