**COMPONENT 3.3**

 * Evaluate and select resources that build a collection addressing curricular needs and learning goals in collaboration with teachers, technology staff and candidates**

__**EVIDENCE:**__ **Selection Criteria Used by CGES** By identifying the needs of its patrons, the CGES Media Specialist will decide on materials suitable for the school’s collection that will support the diversity of the school’s patrons as well as resources to support the curriculum. Requests from students and teachers will be taken into consideration as well as use of Titlewise and other reports that identify weaknesses in the collection. Resources for the collection will be evaluated in regard to: Additional things to consider in the selection process are:
 * Evidence 1**
 * Purpose – the overall purpose and its relationship to instructional objectives/curriculum
 * Reliability – accuracy, authenticity, authority
 * Treatment – clarity, skill, organization, lack of bias, well balanced, reading level
 * Technical Qualities – audio and/or video, ease of access, screen design, compatibility
 * Format – readability, durability, attractiveness, manageability, user friendliness
 * Special Features – illustrations, photographs, maps, charts, graphs, guides, etc.
 * Possible Uses – individual uses, group use, in-depth study, remediation, enrichment
 * Price – appropriate and within budget, costs for retaining materials, does need justify cost
 * Materials are in areas where collection is weak
 * Student and teacher requests
 * AR requirements
 * Popularity
 * Content appropriate for student use
 * Reputable publisher/author/producer

**Collection Analysis Tool by Titlewave**
When money was made available by the district to purchase additional materials for the media collection, I used the collection analysis tool to identify weaknesses in the collection which were below the recommended percentages of the main Dewey ranges for grade-appropriate FLR core collections. Using this information as well as recommendations from teachers, we purchased new materials with a concentration in the areas of social sciences and geography/history, improving our analysis as reflected below.

Using the Collection Analysis Tool by Titlewave, I have been pulling outdated materials from the media collection in order to increase the average age of our collection. This is a critical step in collections management since most of our Dewey ranges are outside the acceptable age range.
