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.

EMORY, cont.
14 Includes 931 streaming video titles. [Main Library ]
14 We had a new library staff member who helped us catch up on our DVD ordering in 2010-2011. Also, this is a very popular service
our students enjoy so we wanted to continue purchasing their suggestions. [Oxford College Library]
16.a, b Increased budget based on higher college enrollment. [Oxford College Library]
16.b Serials expenditures less while number purchased increased--apparent inconsistency due to money on deposit with serials
vendor. [Main Library ]
18 Increase due to new staff hires. [Oxford College Library]
18.a Decrease due to vacancies in professional staff. [Main Library ]
18.b Increase due to support staff vacancies filled and new positions. [Main Library ]
18.b We hired a few new support staff during 2010-2011 to help with one staff member's maternity leave as well as we were able to
justify hiring a new library specialist based on a large college enrollment. [Oxford College Library]
21 Received budget increase due to large college enrollment. [Oxford College Library]
22 More dollars spent on one-time e-resource purchases. [Main Library ]
26 ILL Service for Main Library and Health Sciences combined. [Main Library ]

FLORIDA
Data from the Law and Health Sciences Library are also included in the figures reported.
1.b.i A large number of e-books were added to the collection in 2010-2011.
2 Unfortunately, UF is unable to count titles as this data in not available currently through our ILS.
5 Total number of serials jumped in Smathers by 21% due to an increase in the number of Open Access e-journals being offered
through Serials Solutions KnowledgeBase.
18 Salary figures are for Smathers and Health combined. Fringe was counted, and several librarian hires were made in 2010-2011.
21 A substantial boost to library expenditures occurred from redirecting Carry-Forward funds in 2010-2011.
27 FTE figures are for Smathers and Health combined.
39 Beginning in fall 2009 this number includes faculty in the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry and Vet Medicine, whose numbers
possibly contribute to the yearly increase in this figure since 2009.
FLORIDA STATE
Library branches included: Main Library (Strozier), Dirac Science Library, College of Engineering Library, Allen Music Library,
Goldstein College of Information Library, Ringling Museum of Art Library, Panama City, Panama Library, and Panama City,
Florida Library.
Data from the Law and Health Sciences Library are also included in the figures reported.
1.a Volumes held June 30, 2010 revised to 2,961,683.
1.b – 1.b.i There are two reasons for the decrease in volumes added. 1) The library has a project where many duplicate copies of books and
journals are being withdrawn, which is causing the spike in withdrawal numbers. 2) Our approval plan was re-profiled and less
was spent than in 2009-2010 on books. A substantial deposit account for e-book PDA was created. The money has been spent but
no volumes added yet.
1.b.ii The library has a project where many duplicate copies of books and journals are being withdrawn, which is causing the spike in
withdrawal numbers.
2 We have increased collection spending, particularly in the Arts and Humanities. We are adding monographic materials and
weeding serials. The number of Titles exceeds that of Volumes Held for 2010-2011 (Q1.b.i) because we have shifted to electronic-
only for journals, so we're not adding physical volumes. Furthermore, we have withdrawn a tremendous amount of print journal
volumes compared to the number of journal titles.
10 The 2010-2011 measurement included the Heritage Protocol collections and Special Collection vertical files, which were not
previously included.
