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1.b, 1.b.ii Large numbers of microforms and physical government documents were withdrawn this fiscal year.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).
Data from the Law and Health Sciences Library are also included in the figures reported.
1 Includes 1,160,057 e-books. [Butler]
1 Includes 102,824 e-books. [Teachers College]
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.

CORNELL, cont.
1.a Volumes held June 30, 2010 revised to 8,222,075. Increase reflects retrospective barcoding and additional e-books. Excludes
e-books created through CUL's collaboration with Google.
1.b.i Print only. Source of data: online catalog. We attempt to exclude retrospective barcoding counts as much as possible.
2 Excludes e-books created through CUL's collaboration with Google. The overlap between print and e-book titles was estimated.
E-books include some duplication between e-book packages yet to be determined.
5 Estimate only. The deduplication of print with electronic was based on a sample done in previous years. 15.7% of the final count
was estimated to be print. The significant drop of currently received print titles is due to the continuing shift to electronic-
only, continuing cancellations due to budgetary pressures, more precise counting methodologies, and open serial order record
cleanup. Excludes titles from 2 Law aggregators that do not have individual records in the online catalog as they are only
available to Law users. 11,500 of the e-titles were bibliographically coded as ceased.
7 Count no longer kept up to date. The last count (in 2007-2008) was 8,507,563.
9 Count is no longer kept up to date. The last count (in 2009-2010) was 8,731. That count excluded any computer files that were not
barcoded and/or that accompanied other formats.
10 The largest part of the count is in cubic feet it is reasonably similar to linear feet.
11 Count is no longer kept up to date. The last count (in 2007-2008) was 253,439.
12 Count is no longer kept up to date. The last count (in 2007-2008) was 53,026.
13 Excludes any sound recordings that are not barcoded, and/or that accompany other formats.
14 The motion picture count is no longer kept up to date. The last complete film and video count (in 20007-2008) was 39,842. Videos/
DVDs increased by 5% to 41,457.
16 We cannot provide these breakouts. The counts we are able to get for this type of breakout are no longer meaningful.
18.a Includes expenditures for academic and exempt staff.
18.b Includes expenditures for non-academic non-exempt staff only.
21 Includes $38,113 in in-year returns to 2 colleges. Includes $3,388,230 for grant projects tracked through the Office of Sponsored
Programs.
23 Includes an estimate for the amount spent on electronic subscriptions for large publishers providing both print and electronic
whose payment records are coded as print only.
27 Does not include short-term temporary staff or positions that were temporarily vacant as of June 30, 2011. Includes 20.14 FTE for
grant projects tracked through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
27.a Includes academic and exempt staff.
27.b Includes non-academic non-exempt staff only.
29 Part of one library (study space &computer lab only) remains open between 2 and 8 a.m., Sunday-Thursday, staffed by library-
paid security staff, which adds 27.5 hours to this figure.
30, 32 Starting with 2010-2011, CUL broadened the coverage of the statistics it keeps on its information contacts with, and presentations
to its users it now records some of its outreach efforts. In the past, some consultations and some sessions planned for one user
were included in the count for presentations to groups. They are now counted as reference transactions. In the past, there was
also some double counting for sessions co-taught across library branches, which we have made greater efforts to exclude.
32 Many unit library counts are extrapolated from 12 sampling weeks.
33 Includes ILL lending and some staff transactions.
35 WorldCat Local became CUL's main catalog in June of 2009. Traditional ILL counts include some of the requests submitted by
CUL patrons for items that are available at CUL. As of August 2011, Borrow Direct counts are title counts rather than volume
counts.
37 Does not include 2 JSDs (Doctors of the Science of Law) and 3 DMAs (Doctors of Musical Arts).
38 Count does not include the Doctor of the Science of Law program or the Doctor of Musical Arts program.
41 Part-time students are employees participating in the Employee Degree Program.
