monographs.

Library increased access to the number of electronic journals via SFX, taking advantage of ʺfree or
nearly free with print.ʺ
6 Main Library did not count individual rolls of microfilm and individual sheets of microfiche for
government document serials prior to 2004‐05. Other serials on microfilm and microfiche were
counted by individual titles. This is being resolved for 2005‐06.
10 The large number in 2003‐04 was due to the Main Library clearing out a large backlog of
unprocessed maps.

and electronic), which resulted in the 2003‐04 total being revised to $2,951,733. 2004‐05 figure
includes the cost of FirstSearch and Lexis‐Nexis.

services staff. FTE for temp services staff is reported in (26).

shortfall. The freeze on IT purchases ended in 2004‐05.
