CollectionWiz™

First, CollectionWiz does not require any setup work to use! Forget about needing to know your MARC tags and call number prefixes: simply export your MARC records and immediately upload them to CollectionWiz for your library collection analysis. 

Once you’ve uploaded your records, CollectionWiz allows you to adjust ideal retention or suggested dates at the Dewey main classes and hundred divisions. This feature assists you with identifying and evaluating those items that may need to be reviewed for accuracy, misleading or inappropriate content.   

What’s more, CollectionWiz aging lists complement your weeding practices and other de-selection procedures used by showing you those items in your collection that don’t meet specified dates.  And, to help with the selection process to replace items that are being evaluated, CollectionWiz instantly provides lists of products that are at or are newer than the selected ideal age. Plus, we alert you to books you already own. Our items are appealing, accurate, relevant and appropriate. Get started with CollectionWiz™.

Enter your preferred age in the suggested age number blank and click [SET]. Select the [RESET RANGE] button to reset that number to the default (five years), or select the [RESET ALL] button to set all your custom suggested age settings back to default. To modify at the Dewey level, simply click the [+] button on the left of the Dewey main class, then adjust the age for your preferred subclass. At the Dewey main class level, click the [RESET RANGE] button to reset all subclass years back to default.

No matter if your library is stacked to the rafters with Capstone titles or if you’ve never considered purchasing from us before, we’ve built CollectionWiz to address the collection development needs of all LMS professionals.  If you’re new to Capstone, simply take five minutes to sign up for an online account to get started!

You can run CollectionWiz yourself. Consult your automation software vendor’s technical manual, online help, or customer service team for the most up-to-date instructions.

Having an account allows you to save your uploaded records and CollectionWiz analysis for future use.  Plus, without an online account, our sites wouldn’t be able to offer such features as duplication notification when you peruse books on our site because we wouldn’t have the information about what you already own in our system to reference.

You don’t need to download special software to use CollectionWiz. We’ve designed it to operate on  commonly used browser programs such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari. You’ll need a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat to download graphs and reports or choose to download as a Microsoft Excel file.
