FOOTNOTES
On the web form, you will be able to add footnotes to individual questions, as well as footnotes that apply to your entire
institution. Please provide any information which would clarify the figures submitted, e.g., the inclusion of branch
campus libraries or any special projects which might cause radical increases or decreases. Please use the footnotes in
the ARL Statistics 2007-2008 for comparison if necessary. Please consult the Data Repository under www.arlstatistics.org
for a copy of last year’s footnotes. These can be found under “Data Repository” after you login to www.arlstatistics.org.
Please make an effort to word your footnotes in a manner consistent with notes appearing in the published report, so
that the ARL Office can interpret your footnotes correctly. Please use a concise sentence/paragraph format when writing
footnotes—do not use bullets or make a bullet list.
NOTE: Any change over 10% in any answer to any of the survey’s questions over the preceding year’s response (2007-08)
should be addressed with a footnote.
Submit the completed questionnaire by
October 15, 2009.
