Collection mapping is the process of examining the quantity and quality of your collection and identifying its strengths and weaknesses. A number of authors have written about the process. The outcome of the process can serve as a guide during the collection development process. A collection map is a visual representation that graphically displays the breath and depth of the library collection. In other words, a collection map provides a quick picture of the collection. There are three basic assumptions about collections that relate to collection mapping.
The collection should have breadth. Collection maps are used for many collection-related projects. What is a base collection and core collection? Collection mapping involves examining your collection and comparing it with some standard. A base collection is an arbitrary standard denoting the number of works recommended for a minimal level collection. What should be in the collection? How are results analyzed?

Teaching With Graphic Novels. Illustration by Gareth Hinds On March 14, 2013, teachers in the Chicago Public Schools were told, without explanation, to remove all copies of Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel Persepolis (Pantheon, 2003) from their classrooms. A day later, facing protests from students and anti-censorship organizations, Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett explained the move.
