The article is not terribly difficult to understand, but if you have no experience in statistical analysis--up to linear regression, either a first or second year statistics subject--it will probably be slow going. I hope everyone will not be frightened off, because the approach I describe is wonderfully suited to program assessment, something that is rather difficult to accomplish within the library context.

I don't know if I dare attempt the article itself. I hope you don’t mind an intruder (from Boston College), but that abstract is just so precious. I don’t know if I dare attempt the article itself.
