[Nhcoll-l] Effect of Global Database Inclusion on Loan Requests

[Sarah K. Huber]

We are hoping to upload our collection database to FishNet2 in the coming months, and I was wondering if anyone has any data about the effect of inclusion in these types of global databases on loan requests. After adding a collection database to a global databse (e.g., FishNet2, HerpNET, ORNIS, etc.), did loan requests noticeably increase? If so, does anyone have any data indicating the percent increase?



Many thanks,

Sarah
