Studying an affordable learning program through data can help with benchmarking, reporting, communication, and marketing. The Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI) is a consortium supporting 24 private institutions across Indiana through the PALSave affordable learning program. PALNI created a data plan to gather data demonstrating the need for the PALSave program, its impact, and to further gather information about the use of zero cost resources at private colleges in Indiana.
