5. Analysis: Needs More important Scan Machines - vital Specialized Applications (Photoshop) Binding and finishing supplies Transparency printing Slide scanning Meeting area Consultants! Bernadette

6. Analysis: Needs Less important Video editing equipment Library of outdated books Training sessions Counter storage Extra cubicle (went from 3 to 2) Bernadette

7. Analysis: Data More users / visitors in spring & fall, few summer, no winter. Users / visitors peaked in early 1990s, steady since 1998. Technology available throughout the rest of the campus. Scantron usage: mild increase. Text scanner: mild increase. Slide scanner: variable, statistically flat. Color printer use, Audio tape duplication, software, and hardware help have all decreased over time. Transparency printing is almost non-existent.
