Approaches to studying library collection quality

The quality of library collection is hard to evaluate due to its non-specificity and inconstancy, as well as due to the multiplicity of evaluation specifications. Besides, within the contemporary library collection studies, the concept of “library collection quality” does not correspond with criteria and indicators being suggested. To harmonize disparate requirements and quality specifications, the author applies the polysystem approach which contemplates examining collections as an element of larger systems. Each system, with its own goals, structure and functions, offers its specific requirements. The quality of library collections is analyzed from the viewpoint of structural and functional, technological, marketing, regionological, and culturological approaches. Within every macrosystem, structural elements are defined; their impact upon library collection quality is discussed. The social systems of greater global character (culture, region, market) put forward the requirements reflecting the needs and expectations of the society on the whole, regional communities and individual consumers, correspondingly. These requirements differ depending on the collections, library type and subordination, its goals and strategies and are specified in the library collection models — used as guidelines for designing the library’s technological system. Developing the quality indicators systems for each type of collection interaction within the macrosystems for every library type should become the next stage of library collection quality studies.
