DataBank: YBP Gobi Peer Groups

Create & Edit Peer Groups

Unfortunately, each login (person) can create only one peer group at a time. Fortunately, it is easy to create, edit and change your peer group.

 

A.    See OPTIONS tab

 

B.    click on EDIT PEER GROUPS

You have many options for choosing peers. The default is the long list under LIBRARIES from which you can select. Alternatively, you can alter the list

1.       by KEYWORD and then click on FILTER

2.       by COUNTRY OR STATE/PROVIDENCE  and then click on FILTER

3.       by LIBRARY TYPE such as Music and then click on FILTER

 

C.    SAVE     Don't forget to save your peer group (on the left)

 

A Peer Group can consist of up to 25 libraries.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  It is not necessary to include consortium (CIC or CARLI libraries in the case of NUL) in your peer groups, because there are other ways to get the data on the institutions in these consortia.  If you plan to make comparisons with the aggregate of the consortia libraries and your peer group, which contains consortia libraries, you will mistakenly produce double-counts.
