Spectra is a suite of collection analysis tools from Library Dynamics. Using bibliographic and circulation data from your library’s local system, Spectra creates web-based, graphical views of your collection.

With Spectra, you will be able to:

• View your collection from a comprehensive perspective down to individual titles.
• Compare your collection to one or more libraries, library groups, or authoritative sources such as Choice.
• Identify areas of uniqueness, overlap, and gaps.
• Spot trends in usage.
• Work with your data from graphs, tables, or spreadsheets.
• Select, save, sort, and download title lists or full MARC records.

Join us for a demonstration of Spectra and see how it can help you to manage your collections by selecting and retaining the most valuable and useful content.

Learn how you can base collection decisions on multiple types of analysis with Spectra’s unique visualization tools.
