Re: use statistics
We have a line on our form that says: Institution and when they
fill in that, we can usually catch academic or cultural affiliation.
Our categores are: undergraduate, graduate, faculty, staff,
community (research), and community (genealogy) Most
people readily admit to being a community member...I didn't
like separating research and genealogy, but did it to counter
some of the mythology that "only genealogists use special
collections" .... by breaking that we've been able to show
that 60% of non-university use is research and 40% is
genealogy...
