Question Number Footnote
FLORIDA STATE cont.
10 This includes health, retirement, and other university provided benefits. The number reflects
actual cost of fringe benefits rather than set percentage.
13.c The library decreased the number of student hours used to staff the circulation desk.
15 The decrease is due to a reduction in weekly workshops and enrollment in for-credit classes.
21, 22 The increase is due to an adjustment to which items were counted. In prior years, lending and
borrowing through the statewide “UBorrow” system had been inadvertently excluded from
this figure.
GEORGETOWN

HARVARD
Library branches included: Harvard Law School Library.
4 See number reported under MAIN. This is reported as a university-wide number covering all
schools and programs.
12 Represents changes to this line due to shift of how bibliographic utilities are assessed to
campus libraries. This charge is now rolled into a comprehensive service charge for services
centrally provided.
13.b Represents normal staffing level adjustments due to periodic staffing adjustments. Includes
additional staff to support changes in institution-wide services.
13.c This number currently not available.
16 It is projected that the time period that the sample was taken, because it is significantly different
than last year, directly impacted the numbers. It is also projected that the interpretation of what
gets counted has also changed. Numbers for previous years have also varied widely. With the
implementation of SpringShare, it is hoped that clearer reporting and more accurate data will
be available.
18–20 Efforts are underway to determine how to measure this number. It is expected that this statistic
will be available in the future, at least as an institution-wide number.
HAWAII
Library branches included: William S. Richardson School of Law (Law School Library).
10 Fringe benefits include: FICA, Medicare, workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance,
pension accumulation, pension administration, retiree health, vacation reserve (for employees
who accrue vacation), and state health fund estimates.
20 We technically do not have federated searching capability, only index searching through PRIMO.
However, we are unable to supply any statistics for the index searching as there were technical
difficulties associated with PRIMO in FY2014 and no statistics were counted.
HOUSTON
18–20 Data is unavailable.
HOWARD
Library branches included: Data for the Law Library only.
8.b There was a reporting/typing error in the figure for support salaries in the 2012–13 report. This
year’s figure is correct.

17 Increased participation in library instruction resulted in increased circulation of materials.
