HARVARD
Library branches included: Countway Library of Medicine, Center for Bioinformatics (CBMI).
On July 1, 2012, Harvard University reorganized its library functions, consolidating most of the Access,
Services, Preservation and Digital Imaging Services, and Information and Technical Services staff into
a single group (the Harvard Library Shared Services). Thus, the number of staff and expenses for staff

an assessment that falls under the Other Operating Expenditures category (Question 9).
