I'd say it also depends on the nature of studies at the school, too. A
general liberal arts school might have different needs than one heavy on
science and engineering. Throw in some specialized resource like a
radio telescope or nuclear research lab and it changes even more as
those research data are shared among other collaborators at other
institutions.
