A review of qualitative and quantitative measures in collection analysis

Abstract

While not dismissing the raging debate on whether quantitative measures are more efficacious than qualitative in collection analysis, this paper posits that a mix of the measures is safer ground, such that the strengths of one approach will level out the weaknesses of the other. Consequently, the paper is almost exclusively devoted to considering cases where a combination of these measures was profitably applied. There is also a discussion of a wide range of versa tile software packages with broad appeal which are available on the market today for purposes of data manipulation.
