Which topic focuses on the quality of print and digital resources?

• A. Collection Assessment
• B. Accessibility
• C. Library Services Assessment
• D. Data Sources

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is evaluating how well a library’s holdings—both print and digital—serve users in terms of quality and usefulness. Collection assessment is the process of examining the library’s materials to judge their quality, relevance, currency, and overall fit for the community, including how accessible they are across different formats. This focus on the holdings themselves—ensuring that print materials are in good condition, digital resources are accessible and properly licensed, and the balance and completeness of the collection—is why collection assessment best fits the question.

Accessibility, by contrast, concentrates on making resources usable by people with diverse needs; Library Services Assessment looks at how well library services perform; and Data Sources refers to where the data for analysis comes from, not the quality of the resources themselves.
