Colleagues: How would you respond to a request to show the effect of a 
Fall 2011 acquisitions budget cut on institutional academic outcomes? 
(Or put another way: how do you prove the academic impact of the absence 
of materials not purchased??)

I can compare expenditures to peer institutions, and will look at ILL 
borrowing rates, but beyond that...? Thanks.

Dana
