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.
