Everyone -
Attached is the Excel Spreadsheet for Direct Loans among SWAN libraries for FY 2014 (July 2013 - June 2014). At the far right hand column of the spreadsheet there is a column listing whether your library is a NB - net borrower or a NL- net lender. As in previous years the statistics running across the page are your library activity as a borrower. The columns running down the page reflect your activity as a lender.
Enjoy.
