Abstract

The WorldCat Collection Analysis (WCA) tool was utilized to benchmark engineering monograph collections generally and mechanical engineering in depth. This was accomplished by quantitatively comparing the collections of 13 aspirational peer institutions and assessing local holdings based on those benchmarks. This study also explored trends in print and ebook engineering monograph holdings from 2005 to 2010. In addition to benchmarking, limitations and challenges of using WCA and aspirational peers are also discussed.

使用WorldCat收集分析工具对机械工程收集进行基准测试

利用WorldCat Collection Analysis (WCA)工具对工程专著集和机械工程专著集进行了总体基准测试。这是通过在数量上比较13个有抱负的同行机构的收藏，并根据这些基准评估当地的收藏来完成的。本研究还探讨了2005年至2010年印刷和电子书工程专著的趋势。除了对标之外，还讨论了使用WCA和抱负对等体的局限性和挑战。
