Jackie,

Is your definition of Reserves required textbooks?  I'll fill out your survey, but wanted clarification.

Thanks,
Mindy

Hi all~

    I'm hoping to get a sense of the "Reserves" landscape across Washington. Our funding requests to our Student Government are due this week and I've found access to Reserves to be one of the "saving graces" for our students.  My hope is to get additional funding from our student government to enhance our collection here and a quick peer review can assist with any case that I might make.  I drafted a quick survey (only 5 questions<https://goo.gl/forms/BSN7uKG3YvmzOati1>!) but the same questions are below if you prefer to respond via e-mail.

Thank you!
Jackie
