For details, please see my informal research collaboration - scholarly blog post: http://poeticeconomics.blogspot.com/2012/02/could-university-of-iowa-librari es-save.html A huge THANKS to University of Iowa's Wendy Robertson for giving me some great data to work with: http://blog.lib.uiowa.edu/transitions/?p=720 cheers, Heather Morrison
