9. Collection Assessment and Evaluation Policy
The University Library and the unit libraries conduct evaluation of their collections to
determine if the collections meet the mission and goals of the University Library. It is
primarily undertaken to find out how well the existing collections meet the teaching and
research needs of its users, in what areas it is deficient and what remains to be done to
develop the collection. In addition, it may be conducted to identify materials for preservation
treatment, replacement, transfer to storage, or deselection, justifying for budget requests
and funding, grants, explaining decisions and expenditures and demonstrating the degree
to which a library can or cannot support a program or major.
The Librarians and the faculty members work together in assessing and evaluating the
collection of the library. The evaluation process is conducted systematically and regularly or
as the need arises.
The library may use a combination of standard qualitative and quantitative methods of
evaluation. Different subjects may require different techniques of assessments. The choice
of method to be adapted and type of data to be collected will depend on the purpose of the
evaluation. It may be undertaken comprehensively or by subject area.
For electronic resources, these standard methods of analysis are not easily applicable.
The library may use data provided by publishers and vendors to measure their
effectiveness or consider their cost-effectiveness and success in meeting users’ needs.
The Technological University of the Philippines Manila Library is pledged to support the
vision and mission of the University with recognized excellence in the field of Engineering and
Technology education at par with leading universities in the ASEAN Region.
The Institution’s library policies and procedures, collection development, organization
and preservation of library materials and resources have been explicitly covered in the Library
Operations Manual (pp. 25-44). To inform the clientele about the policies and procedures, the
library posts on the webpage, Facebook page and MS Teams E-Library channel on the updates
and other announcements.
