Tom Eland's class is back looking for detailed info about the U Libraries. Kay helped the two students this afternoon and we bookmarked the most helpful source from the staff web site - it is on the LInks toolbar on the two front Ref desk machines (Libraries statistics). Questions? Ask KK or SG.

Hi, HSS Collection Group--
You may have heard about the U Minnesota Libraries drop in overall ranking
in the ARL Statistics (2001/02) available in 2003.
The report is available at:
http://www.arl.org/stats/pubpdf/arlstat02.pdf
and the rankings begin at page 53.
The report is over 100 pages long and takes a while to load.
The statistic that is most troublesome is the "no. of monographs purchased"
figure --where we rank 63rd. This just seems wrong.
But you may find a glance at the rankings interesting.
