Archive usage

Peter Austin has a nice post at the Endangered Languages and Cultures blog about who uses digital language archives. He concludes by noting that "Unfortunately, no information is available from any of the archives about how downloaded or copied resources get used in secondary publications." We'd welcome any feedback regarding how people are using ANLA resources.
