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journals are being withdrawn, which is causing the spike in withdrawal numbers. 2) Our approval plan was re-profiled and less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1.b.ii The library has a project where many duplicate copies of books and journals are being withdrawn, which is causing the spike in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 Furthermore, we have withdrawn a tremendous amount of print journal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.

12 The 2010-2011 number includes previously uncounted graphic materials in Special Collections, including a substantial university
photographic and negatives collection.
16, 16.a The Libraries' received federal stimulus dollars which were primarily spent in arts and humanities monographs.
16, 16.b, c There are 2 reasons for the jump in this number. 1) Some are federal stimulus funds. 2) The budget code reporting system has
been adjusted.
16, 16.d Some memberships were canceled for budget savings.
18.c Federal stimulus dollars were used to hire student workers for new projects and to supplement empty full-time lines.
21 The increase due to more accurate reporting of library expenditures and due to federal stimulus funds.
22 One-time stimulus money were used to purchase database backfiles.
24.a FCLA paid membership fees previously paid directly by the Library.
24.b FCLA funds were not reported in 2009-2010. In 2010-2011, we are reporting them.
25 The increase in computer hardware and software expenditures is due to the creation of a campus student technology fee giving
us a sustained, new source of technology funds.
27.c Federal stimulus dollars were used to hire student workers for new projects and to supplement empty full-time lines.
28 Consolidated service points in Strozier and Dirac Libraries.
29 The increase is due to the 24/7 virtual reference service we offer.
30-31 The rise in classes and participants were due to significant, targeted outreach initiatives and the opening of the new Learning
Commons, which increased awareness of library instruction.
32 FSU libraries opened a new Learning Commons with associated new services and resources.
33 Consistent with the national trend, we continue to see declines in the circulation in our general collection while use of electronic
materials and loans in specialty collections (media and technology) are rising.
34 Due to an increase of library staff-mediated overdue renewals for faculty, which are recorded by our system as initial circulations,
the number of renewals is undercounted. This also drives up our number for initial circulations. The reality is that these numbers
are probably closer to each other in value that is displayed here.
35 A reorganization of ILL permitted staff with the best experience to be matched to the appropriate tasks. Moreover, since ILL have
been relocated to the building with the collection, student workers are no longer depended on to locate the books.
37 There were increases in doctoral graduation across colleges, in particular Arts &Sciences and Education.
38 Number of degree programs source for the 2009-2010 number was from IPEDS. The 2010-2011 number was taken from FSU's
Degree Program Inventory (DPI). From that inventory, the percentage change is minimal if comparing the most recent two years
at FSU with the 2010-11 current number. 2010-2011 figure =77, as compared to 75 doctoral programs for 2009-2010, and 74 doctoral
programs for 2008-2009.
42 The 2010-2011 number excluded law and medical and was not taken from IPEDS data. If taken from FSU IR data set from 2009,
the number would have been 4,759, resulting in 0% change from the 2010-2011 figure, 4,741. Instead, the 2009-2010 IPEDS data
included GRAD and Professional degrees, which should not have been reported.
43 The 2009-2010 IPEDS number included professional and graduate programs. If FSU's IR data were included with law and medical
separated out, the 2009-2010 figure would have been 2,586, and the percent change when compared to 2,523 (the 2010-2011 figure)
would have been 2%.
GEORGE WASHINGTON
Data from the Law and Health Sciences Library are included in the figures reported.
1.a Volumes held June 30, 2010 revised to 2,352,115.
8 We ordered more titles in 2010-2011 than in 2009-2010.
11 2009-2010 figure revised to 18,943.
