COVID-19 and the anticipated decline in student applications are applying pressure to academic library budgets. The choice of a repository platform, whether open or vendor-developed, locally-hosted or supported as a service, may result in greater scrutiny than in the past. This presentation provides an introduction to multi-criteria analysis (or multi-criteria decision analysis), a framework for decision-making designed to help diverse constituencies weigh competing interests and conflicting costs, features and institutional values. We will introduce the method and speak frankly about our own experience using it to narrow the list of products and frameworks under consideration for use in our library.
