COLUMBIA
1 The Augustus C. Long Health Sciences Library has been undergoing major renovation since 2007 to free up space for a new Learning
Center. This has required us to remove most of the printed library collection. However, there has been no loss of access to our collection.
The library has retained approximately 340K volumes which have been moved to an off-site location. We weeded out-of-scope
materials of the medical library collection, de-duped the basic science materials from the collection if available in another Columbia
University Library, and most of the journal subscriptions (in-scope materials) were converted to electronic if the source was reliable and
retention of paper was no longer needed.
4 Included in Butler Library statistics (see 2007–2008 ARL Statistics).
25 Actual number for Health Sciences Library is $8,609 number is marked UA/NA in order to submit correct overall number for Columbia
(see footnote for (25) in the 2007–2008 ARL Statistics).
26 Increase in staff is due to the library renovation, wherein the need for temporary staff to help out with the barcoding of printed
materials before moving to off-site storage.
