5.a.i There is an increased number of journals provided by large aggregators plus the addition of aggregators previously funded by
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.

32 In 2010-2011, Shields Library moved the evening Information Desk queries to the Circulation Desk where a staff member was
assigned general reference support duties. Additionally, the Circulation Desk began to count the number of reference queries that
came to their desk during building hours. This count is the reason reference statistics rose substantially.

1.a, 1.b, 1.b.i The UCR Libraries were awarded the world class UC Water Resources Collections and Archives (WRCA) by the UC Division of
Agriculture and Natural Sciences (ANR), adding approximately 200,000 volumes to the collections in bulk.
1.b.ii We purposely reduced the number of volumes withdrawn until a space analysis can be completed by the Libraries during the
current fiscal year.
3 The UCR Libraries experienced a 8.6% budget reduction for 2010-2011, impacting the acquisitions budget.
5 The UCR Libraries capture statistically all free e-journals received additional serial titles were also added as a result of absorbing
new serials titles related to water research.
5.a As our statistical/counting methodologies have been improved, we are better able to capture all purchased serial titles received
including those jointly purchased with CDL and the other UC campus libraries.
5.a.i ,5.b We are better able to capture statistics for individual titles of e-journals than previously.
5.a.ii The UCR Libraries acquired new titles to support faculty requests that had been on hold.
5.b.i The figures are higher due to statistical capturing capabilities and through consortial arrangements for those journals paid for by
CDL on behalf of the UC libraries.
5.b.ii We have turned on more tabs to accurately capture the free serial titles that the Libraries receive.
5.b.iii Print serial titles were added to our holdings by receipt of serials comprising the WRCA resources as previously described.
5.b.iv We no longer support gifts and exchanges with government documents serials. They are now mostly electronic and counted
elsewhere with serials.
10 We have implemented a more aggressive program of adding archives to our Special Collections and University Archives
Department as a result of the Eaton Science Fiction Collection and the Tuskegee Airmen Collection., etc.
12 The Libraries have been weeding graphic collections because of outdated format.
16 The monographs budget was partially restored during 2010-2011 to address concerns in the humanities disciplines.
16.c In response to budget constraints, the number of investments in other library materials was reduced during 2010-2011 in
deference to the support for the major research collections.
16.d During 2010-2011, miscellaneous expenditures were reduced to absorb the 8.6% budget reduction.
17 The binding budget was reduced by 23% during 2010-2011 to meet the 8.6% budget reduction. Additionally, with the small
number of print serials to which the Libraries currently subscribe, the binding budget is being shifted to other library priorities.
18 Two new positions were added to the Libraries to support the Water Resources Collections and Archives (WRCA) and its
services. Several positions that had been left unfilled during the previous year, pending receipt of the budget reduction target,
were also filled.
18.b The increase for support staff salaries reflect filling of unfilled positions and salary increases that occurred as a result of a system-
wide wage adjustment.
