14 The number of library presentations to groups and the number of total participants in group
presentations is higher because last year’s reported number did not include the regular classes which
the librarians teach, meeting multiple weeks each semester. Those class sessions have been included in
this year’s response.
16 The approval to fill librarian positions resulted in increased staffing and coverage at the reference desk.
17 The previous year’s figure was inflated and incorrect because it included other data it should not have
included. Thus, the decrease for this year.
22 Due to under-staffing the previous year, we were unable to fill some ILL requests and had to push them
to the next library. Now we were able to fill most requests.
