Make sure you get data that enables you to determine whether an institution is a true peer to your own. A “large” amount of digital holdings can mean anything from 3TB to 40 TB to half a petabyte or more depending on who you talk to. “Access” can mean things as different as a catalog record/finding aid or online delivery of holdings content. Format variety is another consideration factor. These come out of my own experiences looking for peers with which to compare notes.
