8.b $490,057 salaried employees plus $29,664 hourly employees. Several factors contributed to the
increase from 2010–2011: One staff member was on unpaid leave for 7-1/2 months in 2010–11 then
that position was vacant another month. A new half-time position was created, effective in only the
last three months of 2010–11 but throughout 2011–12. Negotiated increases took effect in 2011–12,
including lump-sum payments. [Newark Law Library]
8.c This year’s amount doesn’t include the cost of two expensive interns (one for the digitization project
and one for a PT reference assistant) that was included in the 2010–2011 survey amount. [Camden

wk, 50 wks/yr). [Newark Law Library]
13.c 5,229.3 hours divided by 1,875 hrs/yr =2.8 FTE. [Newark Law Library]
14 Our number reported for 2010–2011 was based on figures given by each reference staff member. Half
(2) of the reference staff resigned this past summer and so were not available to confirm the number
of presentations for 2011–2012 survey. Consequently, we were forced to estimate the number of
presentations for the 2011–2012 period. [Camden Law Library]
16 4,503 at reference desk, 6,600 at circulation desk reporting period June–May. The 2010–11 figure
omitted transactions that occurred at the circulation desk. Including those brings the 2010–11 figure
