reporting requirements for the American Bar Association statistics.
2 Both UH Law Library and the Main Library had a significant increase in number of monographic volumes
purchased.
6 The increase in the number of microform units held by the UH Libraries is due to a change in the way the Law
Library reported its statistics. Previously, Law had used the definition required for the American Bar Association
(fiche =number of units divided by 6, microfilm =number of reels x 5). The number reported this year reflects the
definition used by ARL and was calculated by reverse‐engineering the figures reported to ABA.
