  14. Where VIVA Lends To

  15. How Many Lenders Do We Need? During the 2004 fiscal year at Virginia Tech: 1,146 lenders supplied 22,492 items

  16. Lenders to Virginia Tech • 2,650 libraries in 7 years supplied 179,000 books and photocopies • 566 libraries provided 10 or more items for a total of 95% of borrowed items • UVa supplied about 22% of all items

  17. Our Library Isn’t Adequate& Neither is Yours During the 2004 fiscal year at Virginia Tech: • 413 lenders supported the College of Engineering(718 engineers borrowed 5,100 items) • 291 lenders supported the 11 customers who each borrowed more than 100 items (3,055 items)

  18. Even More Startling • 1 faculty member required materials from 111 lenders (675 items) • VIVA (50%) • 6 doctorals (36%) • 6 public colleges (6%) • 11 private colleges (8%) • 22 ASERL libraries (22%) • 66 additional libraries in dozens of states and two foreign countries

  19. Where To Now? • There are no significant VIVA-wide trends • ILL patterns vary widely, even among libraries of the same type • Better understanding of ILL depends on comparing data across different institutions

  20. Is borrowing decreasing significantly at the 4-year schools?

  21. Not if you factor out Virginia Tech and George Mason

  22. Warning! No easy explanations
