Abstract

Presented at the 2017 Libraries Research and Innovative Practice Forum, this poster provides an analysis of statistics gathered from Aeon, a special collections management system used by the Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) unit in Hornbake Library. The statistics cover the period from August 1, 2014 through May 31, 2017, presenting almost three years of data trends since automating the collection registration and request process, as well as an explanation of the limitations of the reporting system. I also consider how Special Collections and University Archives might utilize statistical information to make changes within the unit.
