Hi Mary,
I'll take a look at my numbers/collecting parameters as well. I know
a lot more now than I did in 2002 about our collections and what's used.
Maybe we want to add a few lines in the conspectus about why certain
areas are left out, or decide to include them with a note. Either
way, it seems better to add a few lines of explanation than have us
guess at it every 5 years.
