"The goal of this survey was to determine the extent to which data mining technology is being used by ARL member institutions, researchers, libraries and and administrations. The survey also hoped to elicit ideas and opinions concerning the potential role of libraries in supporting data mining and data warehousing in research institutions. The first seven survey questions focus on data mining and data warehousing activities at the institutional level. The remaining questions explore the current library use of data mining technology and opportunities for future use. Since data warehouses are the foundation of data mining, several questions focused on current support and future plans for data warehousing. The survey was sent to 124 ARL member libraries. Sixty-five (52%) responded to the survey"--P. 9.
