Abstract

Dahlgren Memorial Library (DML) is the graduate health and life sciences library for Georgetown University Medical Center and serves a wide population. The library is 99% electronic and boasts a robust collection of electronic resources, such as ebooks and Springshare LibGuides. DML began subscribing to LibGuides in 2009 and since had accumulated 8,000 assets. Over 4,000 of the assets were links from an A–Z eBooks Guide created for all of the ebooks in DML’s collection. After some analysis, the assets showed low statistics, duplication, and old metadata. With the introduction of an eBooks Highlight Collection in 2021, there came organization, new methodology, and ultimately a reduction of assets in the library.

摘要

Dahlgren 纪念图书馆 (DML) 是乔治敦大学医学中心的研究生健康和生命科学图书馆，服务于广大人群。该图书馆 99% 是电子化的，并拥有丰富的电子资源，例如电子书和 Springshare LibGuides。DML 于 2009 年开始订阅 LibGuides，此后已积累了 8,000 个资产。超过 4,000 个资产是为 DML 馆藏中的所有电子书创建的 A-Z 电子书指南的链接。经过一些分析，资产显示出低统计、重复和旧元数据。随着 2021 年电子书精选集的推出，出现了组织、新方法，并最终减少了图书馆的资产。
