Abstrakt: Using OCLC-MARC tape records, master records were created for collection management reports at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. These fixed-length records contained only certain fields from the OCLC-MARC records. Reports were generated to help evaluate collection growth by type of material, location, and subject, based upon the LC call number. In addition, SAS, a statistical package, was run against these records to generate information for special purposes, such as determining how the age of material affected circulation and evaluating the number of books purchased by given departments in certain subject areas.
