1.a Volumes held June 30, 2009 revised to 2,598,704.
2 The newly appointed metadata cataloger, in consultation with OCLC, determined that there were 671,027 bibliographic records in the
Main Library and the Health Sciences Library which share an online catalog. The Law Library’s records were added to this number for
the overall count.
3 This figure includes monographic volumes purchased in the special collection, Moorland Spingarn Research Center (MSRC), as well as
the Main Library, Law and Health Sciences. The cataloger for the Main Library now catalogs books for MSRC.

10 Law Library increased its manuscripts and archives by 30 lin. ft. while MSRC added 25,997.
16 The Acquisitions Supervisor elected to participate in the Voluntary Separation and Incentive Retirement Program therefore, he was not
present to oversee the complete order/procurement and payment process. There were records and processes that only he could access.
Thus, some resources were dropped inadvertently. New staff persons will correct the problems in the next fiscal year.

21 The impact of the University’s Voluntary Separation and Incentive Retirement Program, which took effect June 30, 2009, was manifested
in 2009-2010 through reduced purchases and expenditures. That is, several significant selectors left the university and publications in
the affected disciplines were not acquired.
