  18. Patron-Initiated Article Requests?The CDMC Article Supplier Analysis ProjectOrbis Cascade Alliance October 2004: Council established the Collection Development and Manangement Committee January 2005: Council charged the CDMC to provide date to help it decide whether to enter into a development project with III to provide patron-initiated article delivery. They asked for information for a single month to answer the following questions: 1. How many journal articles were requested by Alliance members from within and outside the consortium? 2. How many of them could have been filled from within the Alliance? 3. How many libraries would have been able to supply each article? 4. Is there potential for load balancing for article requests? Deadline: mid-April, 2005

  19. Data Collection Effort • Developed a data collection form on Excel • CDMC members acted as liaisons at their libraries • Very short deadline • Summit holdings records were messy, inconsistent, and difficult to interpret • Everyone came through!
