Measures/Metrics

Some of the metrics I'd like to see include:

Acquisitions budgets by discipline
ILL / Doc Delivery use by discipline
Number and percent of core journals available electronically
Use of print collections by discipline
Number of research consultations
Number of reference questions and their path (live, phone, e-mail, chat)

This is quick and dirty--what would others like to see?

For Our First Meeting

In preparation for our first meeting, please think about how we can best define "Biosciences" at the UW. To that end, we would like you to each describe or list what "Biosciences" includes; this may be akin to listing programs that are in the sphere of bioscience. We can then collate our lists/descriptions at the first meeting and come up with something resembling a definition for our purposes. As a starting point, why not try attaching your lists as comments to this posting?

Could you all also think about any data that would address bioscience faculty/student/staff use of library resources? It would also be helpful if you could begin to think about how we can best apply metrics and assessment to our process. Post your thoughts as comments.
