Analyzing Course Descriptions and Student Learning Outcomes for Digital Primary Source Collection Development
Challen R. Wright; Rayla E. Tokarz
Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship, v36 n2 p128-138 2024
To identify potential needs for primary source collections, this study examines course descriptions and student learning outcomes from the University General Course Catalog of the University of Nevada, Reno. Primary source collection development analysis has not been a focus for librarianship literature. This study uses OpenRefine to analyze words and phrases related to philosophy, history, and primary source resources. Specific locations, time periods, and topics were identified as potential collections for future acquisitions. The findings presented here are specific to one university, but the development of this analysis process can help other academic libraries identify potential topics and resources for their collection development.
