AUBURN
All figures are as of 09/30/2011.
Library branches included: Library of Architecture, Design, and Construction Charles Cary Veterinary Medical Library.
5.a.i The decrease in this category appears to be the result of a decrease in titles available in large aggregator databases.
35 Our ILL Department believes that increased access to full text databases, often with backfiles, and the availability of older
monographic items from Google Books are the major factors in this decline.
37 Increase is due to a change in how Doctoral degrees are defined at Auburn University. Per our Office of Institutional Research
Assessment pages, 'In the academic year of 2010-2011, First professional degrees were moved into Doctorate degree counts.' The
figure for 2010-2011 now includes terminal degrees from our College of Veterinary Medicine and our School of Pharmacy.
