TORONTO
All figures are as of 04/30/2015.
Library branches included: Bora Laskin Law Library.
Library branches NOT included: All other libraries in the University of Toronto Library system.
The Law Library collection is primarily circulating from another library (Robarts Library) during
the period of construction of a new Law Library. Therefore, this circulation represents the activity
of a small core collection, only. This relocation of the collection also affects the ILL stats, as these
loans are not being circulated from the Law Library. It is also true for many other questions, such as
expenditures on staffing or resources, and reference transactions, that the Law Library is operating
with reduced staffing and, therefore, services, during the construction period.
11 Expenditures as reported in Canadian dollars — Collections Expenditures: (7a) $89,621 (7b)
$1,100,840 (7c) $10,068 (7) $1,200,529 Salary Expenditures: (8a) $672,670 (8b) $367,161 (8c)
$117,543 (8) $1,157,374 (10) $268,933 Overall Expenditures: (7) $1,200,529 (8) $1,157,374 (9) $36,676
(6) $2,394,579 (12) NA/UA. NOTE: Total Salaries and Wages (Q8) EXCLUDES Fringe Benefits
Expenditures (Q10).
17 The decline in circulation is at least partly attributable to the fact that the law library’s collection has
been temporarily housed in another library for the past 3 years (since 2013) while the library’s new
space is being constructed.
TULANE

VANDERBILT
Library branches included: Law Library.
7.a Includes some restricted funds.
7.c Reduction in funding from previous year’s large increase.
8.c Less student hours worked to provide budget savings.
9 Includes some endowment funds.
13.a Small change in number results in large percentage change.
14–15 New focus on classroom and larger group presentations.
16 Two additional staff members are reporting. The reference team made documenting reference
transactions a goal.
17 Greater emphasis on electronic resources.
21–22 Resumption of ILL program and statistical tracking.
23 Based on sampling.
