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.
