1.b.i, 3 Lower 2008-2009 print book total reflects approval plan reductions. 2008-2009 e-book total is lower than 2007-2008 because

5 Serial titles are not deduplicated.
5.a The numbers reported represent an estimate and are not deduplicated. Serials have been difficult to deduplicate by titles
rather than by subscription since serials now come in multiple and differing formats. This estimate in serial titles has
resulted in an increased number of serials but a reduction in the expenditures for serials. Thus, our unit price for serials
purchased may be unrealistically low.
11 Count of cartographic materials in past years included only cataloged items. 2008-2009 count includes map library’s
inventory of all items.
27.c The 2008-2009 figure reflects our use of a 40 hour work week as full-time for students.
