Discussion

• Annual Project
  • Amy generated data for 2016.  We now have data for all 5 years.
    • 44 libraries for borrowing and 42 for lending
    • Data shows there was a drop in requests from 2012-2016.
  • Reciprocal libraries have been separated out and includes 24 academic libraries.
    • Debbie clarified I-Share "reciprocal" means going to the library in person to pick up book.
  • There was a huge increase from 2014-2015.  Possible because of ILLINET delivery survey requirement.  Eric will follow up with Gwen Harrison about why the increase.
  • Should we look at more data – fill rate? Such as, lending requests placed vs. requests filled. Articles vs. Books?  Out-of-state vs. In-state?  Why was there a drop from 2012-2013?
  • There are different variable when libraries are reporting stats. We should probably make a note of this in annual report.
    • There is raw data available – Marcella will compare institutions by type.
  • Annotated Bibliography – Arrange articles by specific topic with controlled tag vocabulary.
    • We have a total of 42 articles. Look over summaries by May 5th and add tags. Use someone else’s tag first if it applies. We will discuss at the next meeting.
