1 We rely on the federated title count provided by the University Libraries and produced by our shared
bibliographic management system.
8.b The decrease in BC Law Library support staff salaries is due to three factors: 1) Our Access Service
Supervisor, a long-time employee (32 years of service) retired in June at the start of the 2015 Fiscal
Year. Her slot was vacant for a number of months 2) The Access Services Supervisor position was
upgraded to a professional position (Access Services Librarian), and one of our Law Library Assistants
(support position) was promoted into the new professional position and 3) The Law Library Assistant
position was vacant for several months until we were able to hire a replacement.
8.c The decrease in BC Law Library student assistant salaries is due to two factors: 1) We eliminated
a whole class of law library student assistants—this change also accounts for the decrease in our
reported FTE for student assistants 2) We were unable to find a candidate to fill a summer technology
assistant position. This position pays a significant stipend.
10 For all full-time professional and support staff employed by the Law Library, the fringe benefit rate
was 36.5% in FY 2015. The Law Library had one part-time (.22 FTE) who was not benefits eligible.
Law Library Guards, paid by the BC Police Department, are granted fringe benefits on a prorated scale
depending on number of hours assigned per week, number of weeks per year, and number of years on
the force.
12 The University Library reports this number for all libraries at Boston College.
17 The Law Library statistics for initial circulations is included in the number reported by the Boston
College University Library.
18–20 The Boston College Law Library does not track this data. For LEXIS, WESTLAW, and Bloomberg Law
research services, the vendors do not provide this data. We will rely on the figures reported by the
Boston College University Libraries.
21–22 These figures do not reflect requests made and requests filled within the Boston College University
Libraries system. Requests are declining due to increased access to more full-text e-resources.
22 Our law reviews, which in the past were our heaviest ILL users, are now performing cite and substance
checks online and with more online and born digital materials.
23 The Boston College Law Library does not keep gate count statistics.
