Collection Paradise
Beautiful data for thriving libraries.
Helping library workers make data-informed decisions about weeding, collection promotion, and transfer of items between branches. Designed by librarians to make collection data visible, accessible and useful to staff at every level of your library service, from the customer service desk to the library manager’s office.
Collection Paradise is inspired by the Paradise Gardens of ancient Persia which sought to create beautiful and ordered microcosms of the world’s knowledge; these gardens served as curated spaces for community reflection and discovery, just as public libraries do today.
See below for a video introduction to Collection Paradise.
Collection Paradise will soon be entering a pilot phase - if you are interested in taking part please get in touch via contact details below

Jorge Luis Borges
