Hello all,

As I face another long night of poring over figures in an attempt to 
accommodate looming budget reductions, I realize that I have a very 
basic question for which I do not possess an adequate answer, so here goes:

For records managers and archivists administering a records management 
program in a college or university environment, do you store records 
with an offsite vendor (i.e., Iron Mountain, etc.), and if so, what is 
your total count of cartons stored with that vendor (approximate)?

Naturally the answer to this question will vary widely according to the 
scale of the institution and the manner in which it and its records 
management program operates.  I simply am trying to see if we here at my 
institution (University of Delaware) are at all in the general territory 
of comparable institutions, because the inevitable questions will arise, 
as they do every year lately when budget cuts are discussed.

Since this question has some sensitivity, you may wish to contact me 
off-list at [log in to unmask] or 302-831-2750.  Thanks in advance, both 
for your assistance and understanding.

Ian
