to remove internal ILL requests through docline. Collections changes are the result of a

12 FY15 data reflects the first year of full membership in the CIC with access to the resources paid
centrally on behalf of all CIC members.
16 For FY15, used a different method for identifying reference transactions from among our
dataset.
20 Huge increase year over year likely due to EBSCO providing us federated search data for only a
handful of the EBSCOhost databases last year this year, they collected the federated searches
across all EBSCOhost databases.
21 Increase due to increase in requests from CIC institutions (in particular book requests via
UBorrow) and implementation of more efficient procedures.
22 Increase in books borrowed through ILL corresponds to increased usage of UBorrow, which
was heavily promoted after joining Big Ten in July 2014.
