18–20 The electronic searches and full-text articles accessed at Law Library are counted through the
server at WRLC and reported in the main library statistics. The library materials budget was
reduced this year and there was a RIF in January.
ILLINOIS, URBANA
Library branches included: Law.
University Library reports on e-resources, ILL, degrees, faculty, and enrollment for the
university.
7.a From our ABA report, includes: Monographs (ABA AQ Question 12): $80,237, and electronic
resource purchases (ABA AQ Question 13a): $36,917.

(ABA AQ Q. 13b): $380,938.
7.c $10,168 for binding services. We didn’t bind as much this year, largely due to declining print
serial subscriptions.
8.c Includes graduate student assistants on contract, as well as non-contract student hourly wages.
9 Every year, we have some variance between our bibliographic system and our accounting
system, in terms of the categories of collections expenditures. If those collections expenditures
cannot reliably be assigned to a category, we include it in “other expenses” on our ABA report
and others. This year, the additional collections expenditures were $16,596.
10 Not paid from the library’s budget. Percentages vary. Professional Staff total is calculated as
$688,959 *44.67% Support Staff total is calculated as $250,663 *44.67% Student Assistants total is
calculated as $53,531 *5.99%.
11 Official percent varies by employee type: Employees covered by State Univ. Retirement System
hired after 1986 =44.67% Employees covered by State Univ. Retirement System hired before 1986
=43.22% Non-student employees not covered by SURS =7.79% Graduate assistants =5.99%.
14, 15 The library took over a summer intensive course, added an advanced legal research section for
LLM students, we added a technology brown bag series, and we reached out to more faculty to
provide guest lectures.
17 Decrease, because of greater online availability of materials.

11 Official Designated Percent varies by employee type: 43.72% for professional staff, and 43.25% for
support staff. Benefits covered: retirement, FICA, health insurance, tuition benefit, life insurance,

18–20 Because of incompatibilities within our reporting systems for electronic resources, we do not feel
we can produce accurate use figures for this fiscal year.
