Abstract
Conspectus can mean, in some instances, either a survey, overview, or outline of the subjects in a collection. However, conspectus is also a method—the method of using the outline as the structure for systematic assessment of a library collection. Libraries use both the outline and the method to describe their collections and collection goals, using common definitions.
