ReCAPColumbia University

Request Request typically begins immediately after

transfer Volume has leveled off system-wide in

and effect of mass digitization Monthly request volume in phase with

academic calendar 50% more requests in Fall and Spring than

Summer system-wide Data for small and low-use collections is noisy
