Abstract
Recent years, according to the challenges of inflating information rapidly and emerging technologies, libraries suffer from the issues of library collections, human resources management and the capability of consultations. The collection-related research topics are the most investigated ones. Mainly it is library circulation to cause the intimate relationships between readers and the libraries, so the quality of library collections can directly affect library services and readers’ evaluations. Meanwhile, book acquisitions are the major channels of collections in today’s libraries. Then how to make acquisition policies to promote the quality of library services has become a critical subject in library management researches. In this paper, we apply data warehouse technology to integrate corresponding data sources about library databases, inter-library loans, courses and departments to analyze the collection situations in various views. The results are expected to support decision making in book selection thus to improve readers’ satisfaction in library services.
