28 This number includes the following service points: 5 libraries, Archives, Ask Us!, and GIS service area. All of these points are
staffed. This does not include service points that are by appointment only. One service point from 2009-2010 was switched to an
appointment-only service point and was not counted in 2010-2011.
29 Budget cuts resulted in reduced service hours.
30 Due to a reorganization, we were able to focus more specifically on the needs of our departments, labs and centers, thus raising
the number of presentations we were able to offer.
32.a We collect reference statistics in four sample weeks each year, and extrapolate from those.
35 This number includes our regular interlibrary lending services, but adds a new service, BLC Worldcat unmediated borrowing
and lending figures. That program was started in October 2010.
36 This figure is significantly less than the most recent two years, during which a figure was mistakenly double counted. The
number for 2010-2011 includes articles and items obtained from other libraries through our interlibrary borrowing service, as
well as the BLC Worldcat unmediated items that were obtained. The BLC Worldcat unmediated borrowing and lending program
was started in October 2010. (This number does not include MIT Publications.)
39 This number includes only those with faculty status.

Hearings Digital Collection, 97,384 LN US Serial Set records, and 89,482 SerialsSolutions e-books.
1.b.i This figure includes 58,999 records from the following loads: Alexander Street Press -10,551 CRL -2,445 Gale -7,826 Shaw-
Shoemaker -38,094 Synthesis collection -83.

28 Counted discrete service points within libraries rather than just libraries themselves.
30 Scaling down instructional efforts. However, increases in marketing/outreach produced higher attendance.
MASSACHUSETTS
Library branches included: Science and Engineering Library, Image Collection Library.
1.a Volumes held June 30, 2010 revised to 3,777,263.
1.b.i The increase in volumes added gross for 2010-2011 is part of the ebb and flow of one-time purchases for the University of
Massachusetts given our budgetary allocations and acquisition decisions in 2010-2011.
2 This is an estimate of the number of 245 fields in our ILS as of the end of 2010-2011.
5.b We are currently unable to easily distinguish between subcategories of serials received but not purchased.
10 We received the first installment of the Mark H. McCormack collection (Sports Management) during 2010-2011, which resulted in
larger than usual growth.
14 Implementation of streaming video for course reserves resulted in increased acquisition of material in DVD format.

1.a Volumes held June 30, 2010 revised to 3,343,147 by adding 223,990 to 2009-2010 figure. (This revision reflects improved
methodology for counting catalogued monographic e-resources reported in 2009-2010).
1.b Again, reflects improved methodology for counting catalogued monographic e-resources. Volumes added gross for Jun 30, 2010,
was increased as well, so that our comparisons for each year overall are valid.
3 14,204 print 595 e-books individually purchased 77,051 e-books purchased in packages. In 2009-2010, we purchased several large
packages, which contributed to the higher overall count compared to the 2010-2011 figure.
5.a.ii We have intentionally been moving from print subscriptions to electronic-only.
5.b.ii Increase in number of freely accessible serials titles due to activation of more free targets in SFX.
5.b.iii We have intentionally reduced the number of print and other formats that we accept into our collection.
16.a In addition to some budget reductions, funds were reallocated within the materials budget to produce this significant overall
drop in monograph expenditures.
16.c Backfile purchases have been a priority in recent years and even more so in 2010-2011, explaining the jump of 50.5% from 2009-
2010.
16.d This expense category was reduced due to a drop in postage costs related to print materials.
17 As a budget cutting measure, contract binding was reduced substantially in 2010-2011.
18, 18.a-18.c Includes fringe benefits.
18.b Cuts in the staffing budget resulted in the drop in expense in this category. Includes fringe benefits.
22 Some extraordinary one-time e-resource purchases were made in 2009-2010, which accounts for this substantial difference.
24.a In previous years, certain other related costs in the range of $10-$20,000 were included in this figure. For 2010-2011, we have
included only OCLC costs.
25 Figure for 2010-2011 reflects a substantial increase because it includes new expenses for video platform infrastructure.
Additionally, this was the beginning of a 5-year purchase cycle for server hardware.
27 Positions were cut in both professional and support staff categories in 2010-2011.
