What is Bowkers Book Analysis System (BBAS)?
BBAS is an online collection development tool that enables a qualitative analysis of your holdings without laborious, manual comparisons. BBAS electronically compares your collection to a core list, and provides you with reports that you can use to identify gaps and duplicates within your collection.
Book Analysis System is the only collection analysis tool licensed to use Resources for College Libraries (the definitive core list for academic libraries). This customizable, self-service analysis tool will eliminate the need for manual comparison and reduce human error associated with one-by-one title look-ups. Leveraging the enriched data in BooksInPrint®, the Bowker Book Analysis System enables the most comprehensive look at your collection because your collection will be compared to all editions and formats of each title.
