Dear Colleagues:

This week in my Management of Preservation Programs class we looked 
at trends in ARL Libraries (staffing, ILL, acquisitions costs, 
circulation, etc.) and trends in ARL Preservation operations.  With 
interlibrary borrowing and lending increasing so dramatically over 
the past 15 years, have major lenders seen a statistically 
significant increase in their treatment activity?  ARL Preservation 
Statistics don't change significantly with regard to treatment 
numbers, and it's difficult to tell if there's any correlation 
between lending and treatment (much less between other possibly 
correlating library service, acquisition and preservation factors).

I have lots of other questions for you, but I'll trickle them out 
slowly!  Thanks in advance for your insights.

Best wishes,

Ellen
