27.b Figure reflects the transfer of Media Services unit from the Library to another university department (Computing &Information
Services).
28 This reflects all regularly staffed library service points within library buildings. Not included in this count is a “Librarian in the Lobby”
informal service point located in one academic building and staffed during limited hours by one librarian.
30 2008-2009 figure should be corrected to 444 (538 originally reported in error).
32 Up thru 2007-2008, this figure included only Rockefeller and Sciences libraries reference statistics with reference and directional
transactions. In 2008-2009, the data collection methodology changed from sampling to direct counts of reference activity, including
service points at Rockefeller, Sciences, Hay, Orwig, and JCB libraries, as well as reference activities conducted by individual librarians
from their offices. Directional and cluster-related questions were excluded to conform with the ARL definition. The 2009-2010 figure
reflects a full year of statistics using LibStats to collect data at all libraries and at all service locations (i.e., service desks and librarian
offices).
41, 43 Increase is due to an increase in in part-time undergraduate and graduate students.

1.a Volumes held June 30, 2009 revised to 11,395,639.
