Abstract

In 2016, the Munday Library at St. Edward's University migrated to a new discovery layer. The Library had been an EBSCO Discovery Services (EDS) customer for six years, and the migration to Ex Libris's Alma-Primo negatively impacted content discovery and collection usage due to issues with EBSCO's proprietary metadata and Primo's OpenURL link resolver. This article discusses switching the library's collection using collection data analysis to respond to the change in discovery layer. The data-informed changes made to the collection improved collection usability and access. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
