Abstract

In this work, we present the prototype of a decision support system for the Kansas State University libraries and show our solution to data integration incompatibilities that can arise from inclusion of external data. The principal purpose of the decision support system for libraries is to provide information regarding patterns of use of books, periodicals, and electronic services. There are indications that library use patterns vary among disciplines. Then the library administration could use information about such variations to adjust and/or justify purchases and licences
