8.b Although the library hired a reference assistant to aid in duties with the loss of a librarian position,
there is no obvious explanation to explain this decrease in support staff salaries and wage that puts us
over the boundaries established by -5.3%.
13.a Decrease due to Librarian position transferring out of the Law Library to the Law School when the

through hire of previous deputy director, so no new position was created.
13.b Increase due to hiring of reference assistant to aid in coverage of duties due to the loss of a librarian
position.
21 Decrease due to change in policy so that the majority of Law Faculty ILL requests are purchased for
the Law Library collection, instead of initiating an ILL.
22 Increase in number of filled requests received could be a result of the change in policy so that the

past three years.
10 “Fringe Benefits” include employer’s share of government taxes (FICA, SSI, FUTA (Unemployment),
worker’s comp, etc.) as well as health, life, and other insurance and retirement benefits for eligible
employees.
11 Fringe benefits rates vary by employee class, therefore, the rate for full-time librarians (faculty) has
been reported. The rate for full-time exempt staff and professionals is 32.6% and the full-time non-
exempt staff is 50.5%. Rates for part-time employees vary from 1.7% for student employees to 16.6% for
part-time staff and librarians (faculty).
13.c Service hours have been reduced in circulation and fewer students have been hired for this area as
well as technical services. The reduction in print materials also reduced the student hours needed to
process these materials.
23 This information has not been accumulated for the Law Library.
