Using the Insights Builder, you can make collection comparisons between two groups: The My Libraries (A) group, which consists of one or more holding symbols from your institution, and the Comparator (B) group, which consists of holding symbols from libraries or lists that you choose to compare to.
To learn how to run a report of your query, see Run a query.
Compare your collection (Group A) to the collections of other libraries (Group B) using one of four different analysis queries.
All | Show titles held by either Group A OR Group B |
Overlap | Show Titles held by Group A AND Group B |
Distinct | Show Titles held only by your library or group (Group A) |
Gap | Show titles held only by your comparator libraries (Group B) |
Your My Library group will be automatically configured when your Choreo Insights account is initially set up. This group is configured based on your institution's WorldCat holdings symbol(s).
Comparator groups are created by selecting other libraries' collections from a list on the Comparator Group page.
3. Lists
Upload custom-created title lists and compare them against your institution's collection. These title lists can be uploaded by anyone from your library as long as they have a Choreo Insights account. For more information, see Create a title list and Upload a title list.

The query filters clear every time you switch between classifications. |

Adjust the rows per page to show longer lists of matching terms if necessary. FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) is derived from the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) and is one of the library domains' most widely used subject terminology schemas. The development of FAST has been a collaboration of OCLC Research and the Library of Congress. Work on FAST began in late 1998. Visit, FAST Subject Headings for more information. |
