COLORADO, cont.
32 We continue to implement a new method for tracking reference transactions, which resulted in undercounting by some
branches/departments.
33-34 Circulation continues to decrease as it has for many years, due to more electronic content being available, and more scanning
delivery services offered.
35 Decline in Lending due to one large member of our INN-Reach (Prospector) system removing itself from the consortium for most
of the year for a system change, and RAPID enabling load leveling so that we did not receive nearly as many lending requests as
we have in the past.
COLORADO STATE
1.b, 1.b.ii Large numbers of microforms and physical government documents were withdrawn this fiscal year.
3 35,055 total e-books purchased. E-book purchases include a patron-driven purchase model.
5 All Serials titles count based on catalog records as of 9/7/11. No deduping was done if the record didn't include an ISSN. All
deduping based on ISSN's. "Shared titles" received as part of consortia agreements are paid for with CSU funds and counted
in the Purchased Electronic titles. Any backfile collection containing unique titles were included in the Purchased Electronic
titles (JSTOR, ScienceDirect, Wiley, etc.). Large increase in purchased electronic titles is due to increase in Lexis Nexis Academic
aggregator titles in SFX KB.
7 In 2010-2011 we deleted, withdrew, or de-selected a large portion of our microfilm collection.
16.a Decrease over 2009-2010 however, we acquired some electronic collections and backfiles counted in the miscellaneous category.
17 Focus on electronic material acquisition and access has affected amount of items sent to the bindery.
18, 20, 21, 25, 27 From the Dean of Libraries, Patrick Burns: "Last July (2010), we integrated our department of Academic Computing and
Networking Services into CSU Libraries as its own, distinct department inside Libraries. We did this for both practical and
strategic reasons: because more and more of that department's activities were directly supporting CSU Libraries, and also
because we are expanding the scope of CSU libraries into more emphasis on digital information. This has been accomplished
with the support of the Provost who accepted the strategic plan where this was proposed, and is now codified in our central
administrative systems. The ACNS budget now falls under CSU Libraries, and adds a couple million dollars to CSU Libraries
budget. This has introduced a quantum jump into our reported budget for ARL statistics."
22 Our patron-driven e-book purchase plan was started late in the year.
24.a, 24.b This part of the question was incorrectly answered in 2009-2010 as the instructions were misunderstood. We have zero external
sources. The grand total for Question 24 on our 2009-2010 report is accurate--we shouldn't have split the number.
25, 27 Increased due to the Libraries merger with Academic Computing and Networking Services.
27.c The 2009-2010 calculation was incorrect as the question instructions were misunderstood and a faulty sample method was used
instead of using the total student salary method to determine FTE. We correctly applied the instruction 2010-2011.
30-31 Effective with July 01, 2009, the CSU Libraries had incorporated campus Academic Computing and Networking Services into its
organization, including budget and services. For 2010-2011 (July 01, 2010-June 30, 2011) instructional activities under Computer
Applications Training (CAT) and university Learning Management Systems support (RamCT) have been included into the
numbers reported to ARL for questions 30 and 31. Due to available staffing, the CAT activity for the year was approximately 50%
of what will be anticipated in the following years.
COLUMBIA
All figures are as of 08/31/2011 [Teachers College].
Library branches included: Columbia data includes the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL) and
the Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS).

1 Includes 1,160,057 e-books. [Butler]

1.a Volumes held revised to 11,653,590. Restated for e-book packages added to the collection as the result of a one-time download.
