4a, 15b The numbers reported represent an estimate and are not deduplicated. Serials have been difficult to deduplicate by title rather than

number of serials, but a reduction in the expenditures for serials. Thus, our unit price for serials purchased may be unrealistically
low.
29 Library orientation “tour” is now offered online, asynchronously, and is not included in this count.
