Well done. Under "Advanced Measure 'Type of Use'" the current document recommends that if a department within the greater organization makes an internal request that request should be counted as an external request. I suggest that requests from other departments or agencies within the greater organization be their own category of requests and the type of requests made also be counted. For example, if the marketing department requests video, the archives should track that request as institutional, then media. Knowing the volume and nature of requests from other departments of the greater organization is very important, as they may prove the reason for need of additional or specific equipment, equipment upgrades or replacement, or need of additional or specialized staff. It can also explain a lack of revenue despite a high volume of request for materials and/or services that usually have an associated fee.
