Consortia.
5.b, 5.b.i Considerable reduction in the number of consortial funded titles and these were picked up in purchased titles.
16-26 Expenditures as reported in Canadian dollars: (16a) $2,397,641 (16b) $7,299,064 (16c) $1,474,258 (16d) $1,019,596 (16) $12,190,559
(17) $21,337 (18a) $6,112,127 (18b) $8,198,341 (18c) $629,231 (18) $14,939,699 (20) $1,090,366 (21) $28,241,961 (22) $1,079,281 (23)
$6,939,840 (24a) $491,942 (24b) $234,607 (25) $443,101 (26) $98,378.
16.c Includes digitized archival materials, electronic numerical and spatial datasets serial backsets, interactive media (Platforms
Gaming &language learning software) electronic access to video, image, and audio collections, maps &air photos CDs DVDs
and mixed media educational kits. The expenditures have increased significantly in this category due to the inclusion of many
digital text materials as well as new categories of materials being counted here.
16.d Includes metadata, shelf-ready fees, processing supplies, memberships, and collection evaluations and appraisals.
17 Significantly less contract binding being handled as we increase the number of digital acquisitions.
18.c Projects put on hold in 2009-2010 were reinstated thus requiring additional temporary help.
22 Increase is due to significant acquisition of digital text sets.
24.a Continued increase in the purchase of metadata and shelf-ready processing.
24.b Significant decrease in external funding namely from Lois Hole Campus Alberta Digital Library.
33, 34 We were moving the collection mid-term and this impacted all circulation counts.
CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY
We are undergoing significant cuts to staffing and changes to many internal systems as a result, our figures in some instances are
identical to those of 2009-2010. Data from the Law and Affiliated Library are included in the figures reported.
1.a Volumes held June 30, 2010 revised to 11,082,373. Several reasons for a drop in volumes: 1) The Water Resource Archive left UC
Berkeley 2) Due to change to bibliographic count, some items that used to be counted as volumes are now counted in other
format types 3) Corrected an error in last year's reporting of e-books.
1.b.i This represents some large e-book packages.
1.b.ii This is higher than prior years due to downsizing of several campus libraries and new methodology that uses bibliographic
counts. As we converted to a new ILS we also identified volumes that have been missing but not noted as such.
4 In 2011, we initiated a new methodology that is a hybrid of bibliographic and manual counts as a bridge to a bibliographic basis.
5 We've refined our ability to deduplicate serial titles and as a result, we experienced a drop in our total.
10 Due to change to bibliographic count using standard cataloging definitions, some items that used to be counted as volumes are
now counted as personal manuscripts and archival items.
11 Drop is due to move of Water Resources Library away from UC Berkeley
16-18, 20-27 Due to a change in our reporting system, I was unable to supply a current total for this category. I'm using our 2009-2010 total for
the Main library for the present time.
32 The 2009-2010 total did not include activity in one major library.
34 These figures reflect use of print materials excludes use of e-resources.
CALIFORNIA, DAVIS
Data from the Law and Health Sciences Library are included in the figures reported.
1.b 2009-2010 figure did not include CDL electronic shared monograph volumes.
5, 5.a, 5.b Number is higher because of better reporting from SFX and the inclusion of free or open access titles we provide through SFX.
10 We added fewer manuscripts due to financial constraints in processing them.
13 Discarded LPs during the year.
16.a Variance in figures reported is due to the fact that deposit account off-set/declining balance information was included in
previous years figures but should have been excluded based on ARL's definition within this category.

16 Much of the disparity seen in the expenditure figures due to carry over funds available in 2008-2009. 2009-2010 better reflects
actual moneys expended from that allocation.
