13.a Increase due to instructor position transferred from Information Technology to SIU Medical School
Library.
15 Decrease due to decrease in outreach exhibits and presentations due to librarian vacancy.
16–17 Decrease could be possible impact of library renovation, which closed one-third of the library at a time
over nine months of the year.
18–20 Not available.
22 Patrons have made fewer requests. Assume that the SIU Medical School Library has the ability to
provide items from our own collection for our patrons.
SUNY-STONY BROOK
1 The decrease of the titles held in HSL was due to the system integration with west campus libraries.
4 The number of electronic books were combined with Melville Library on webpage.
7.a HSL was given more money to acquisition purchases by administration this year.
7.b Due to increases in subscription prices.
8, 8.a, 13.a Increase due to the hires of more professional and support staff.
8.b, 13.b
We used a different process this fiscal year to determine professional staff, which resulted in an increase
in the number of staff members considered to be “professional” and a decrease in the number considered
to be “support.”
8.c, 13.c We hired more professional and support staff but decreased student assistants.
14 We have more librarians to offer the instruction classes and others.
15 Since the number of presentations to groups increased, the total participants in group presentations also
increased.
18–20 Electronic usage numbers were combined with West Campus Libraries.
22
This increase is due to the implementation of Shibboleth authentication that automatically routes
patrons to the campus on which they are associated. Previously, many HSL patrons were submitting
their requests through YSM (West campus). Now, they are routed to VZB.
