10 This figure represents our entire holdings. It consists primarily of archival records and manuscripts but it also includes
substantial quantities of printed, microfilm, artifact, audio, visual, film, graphic, and digital materials. Our holdings are
organized according to the archival principle of provenance. Our controls over our records are therefore primarily oriented
towards the creator of the records and only secondarily on the particular types of materials. [University Archives]
18 The total salaries and wages figure does not include $172,655 in fringe benefits. It would be very time consuming to apportion
the fringe benefits to the three salary classifications given, though the amount can be approximated on a pro rata basis, with
only a minimal amount (about 7% of salary) allocated to student employees and the remainder split between the remaining two
categories. [University Archives]
21 The total library expenditures figure does not include $172,655 in fringe benefits. [University Archives]
32.a This number is based about 75% on count and about 25% on a reasonably accurate estimate. [University Archives]

Century Collections Online Part II).

OHIO STATE, cont.
18.a Includes faculty and administrative/professional staff salaries.
18.c Increase over 2009-2010 due to inclusion of student workstudy wages in 2010-2011 which was a category not included 2009-2010.
20 The re-opening of Thompson Library increased the expenses incurred for facilities and, as referenced in the 2009-2010 comments,
is reflected in 2010-2011 reporting. These are not construction related but are for operating costs, such as custodial and utilities.
22 Piece count increased by over 1,000. Additionally purchase of large backfiles and electronic subscriptions account for variance.
26 The decrease is a result of a 10% drop in borrowing requests. The Law's Library's actual total expenditure for document delivery
was a deficit in the amount of -$713.00 but unable to report this negative number in the ARL system.
39 Excludes clinical, research, and auxiliary faculty.
42-43 Includes professional students.

17 We continue to switch more of our journal subscriptions to electronic only, significantly reducing our commercial binding
expenditures.
18-18.c Includes fringe benefits.
18.c In 2010-2011 we were able to fund an across-the-board wage increase of approximately $2.00 per hour, which represented about a
25% increase to our student wage budget.
31 One campus library experienced a significant drop in the number of instruction sessions requested for Speech and Composition
II, which have tended to be very large classes with many class sections.
33-34 We have no way to exclude reserves from this number.
35 Due to how this question was interpreted by the person providing the data, we have underreported for a number of years. If the
correct number of 35,182 had been reported in 2009-2010 then the change in this value between last year and 2010-2011 is +7.34%.
36 Due to how this question was interpreted by the person providing the data, we have underreported for a number of years. If the
correct number of 53,055 had been reported in 2009-2010 then the change in this value between last year and 2010-2011 is +4.82%.
42 Verified that this was the same number reported to IPEDS increase reflects the current economy.
