22 The 1,496% increase in one-time electronic resources purchases represents library investments in e-books by moving to a PDA
program and a shift in collection policy that indicates that, depending upon the discipline and availability, the electronic version
of a monographic title will be preferred.
23 The 12% decrease in expenditures for licensing fees represent cancellations of electronic resources across the UC libraries at large
and those e-resources licensed by the UCR Libraries locally.
24.a The 10% increase represents heavier use of OCLC resources in the cataloging and record cleanup of WRCA resources and a push
by the Libraries to reduce backlogs.
25 The Libraries allocated special funds to invest in servers, additional application software, replacement of staff and public
computer workstations, and new ILL software.
27.c Additional students were hired to implement special library projects, such as collection shifts.
28 The number of staffed service points was increased by 2 to support the services of the WRCA.
30 The Libraries instructional programs continue to increase annually as a result of the implementation of learning communities
by the colleges and schools within the undergraduate student population and extension to instruction to a larger number of
graduate students.
31 The Libraries have expanded their instructional programs and library programming for events.
33 Circulation of physical materials continues to decline as the Libraries invest in digital resources.
34 The check out of physical materials continues to decrease as the Libraries invest in digital resources.
37 The University has launched during the past two years expansion of its graduate student population at the Ph.D. level.
38 At the same time that the University has a goal to expand its graduate student population, those programs that produce a small
number of PhDs annually are being evaluated for elimination.
39 Faculty recruitment was reduced during 2010-2011 in response to budget constraints at UCR and within UC system-wide.
43 Expanding the number of part-time graduate students has been a major initiative at UCR for the past two years, particularly in
the professional schools.

Library branches included: Geisel Main Library Access Services, Arts Library, Science &Engineering Library, Social Sciences
and Humanities Library, Mandeville Special Collections Library, Center for Library &Instructional Computing Services (CLICS),
International Relations and Pacific Studies Library (IRPS), Scripps Institute of Oceanography (SIO) Library.
Data from the Biomedical Library included in the figures reported. Due to budget cuts, the Medical Center Library closed on
April 1, 2011. CLICS (Center for Library &Instructional Computing Services) closed permanently on June 10, 2011. At the close
of the fiscal year, IRPS and SIO closed as well, leaving only the Biomedical Library as a separate library building--although it
more nearly functions as a satellite of the Geisel Library. Going forward, UCSD will be reporting aggregated figures on the Main
Library survey rather than reporting separate Health Science and General Campus figures
1.a Volumes held June 30, 2010 revised to 3,770,218.
1.b, 1.b.i, 1.b.ii, 3 UCSD libraries underwent consolidations in 2011 the IRPS, MCL and CLICS Libraries all closed at the end of the fiscal year, and
SIO will close in 2012. Budget considerations forced decisions about new additions, both in physical volumes and in e-books,
serials and subscriptions. While part of the collection was consolidated in Geisel, withdrawals increased over our usual trend.
1.b.i While part of the collection was consolidated in Geisel, withdrawals increased over our usual trend.
2 The titles figure is an aggregated figure for both the Main campus and the Health Science campus. The titles figure is calculated
using a conversion factor of 1.2:1. (Count is not bibliographic).
7 We believe that the 3 million figure from 2009-2010 was in error we did reduce microforms considerably in 2010-2011 through
digitization and consolidations.
8 In 2009-2010 Government Docs count was absorbed into the general volumes collection.
12 We think the 2009-2010 count was in error for graphic items.
18.a-18.b Expenses related to salaries were lower for the Libraries due to a hiring freeze and attrition from retirements and resignations.

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.

27.a The 2009-2010 figure was anomalous professional staff were hired after a moratorium on hiring throughout 2009-2010. We are
closer to the 2008-2009 figure again.
27.b The decrease in the nonprofessional staff was largely due to normal attrition of employees whose positions were given up and
who were not replaced over the last two years.
30 Due to a hiring freeze and attrition from retirements and resignations, there were fewer staff across the Libraries to conduct tours
and presentations.
35 Interlibrary loan activity has decreased at UCSD also in the process of the library's consolidation and relocation of the ILL unit,
some activity may have been less than usual.
37 Students enrolling in graduate and postdoctoral programs increased due to the poor job market, driven by a desire to be more
competitive upon returning.
