[aisle] Data Sharing

[Renee Kozeal]

Hi Jill,
I keep monthly stats that I share with admin and the Board, as well. I have
always just reported "Searches" for each database. As you build your data,
it will become more meaningful. I always include previous years/months and
each month of the current year to be able to make comparisons. I just
create a spreadsheet and add to it each year. These numbers are very
helpful for me to be able to review to help make decisions, too!
