of coordinating data collection for major data efforts within his/her division. Until very recently (due

At this time, such data collection for all collections is performed primarily at the divisional level, or
“branch” level and is reported separately and maintained separately. In particular, I am referring to
local digital collections, repository use, and archives and manuscript usage. Some data collection is a
joint effort between two divisions (e.g., vendor usage data).
