  2. Task Force Recommendations • Reserve use of the current membership criteria index to those occasions when it is needed for consideration of membership issues • Implement an expenditure-focused index

  3. Use the new expenditure-focused index for any public reports, such as the Chronicle of Higher Education • Begin to develop a services-based index that combines the following three factors: collections, services, and collaborative relationships

  4. Revise definitions for collections-related data categories, such as serials, and experiment with a variety of new measures, including usage data, strength of collections, and service quality measures to develop a richer set of variables for potential inclusion in the three factor alternative index

  5. Collect qualitative data to develop a profile of ARL member libraries.
