TENNESSEE, cont.
3 The main difference lies in the number of electronic books we purchased in 2010-2011 versus 2009-2010. In 2009-2010, we

13 Increase in audio, film and video items due to an increase in streaming media.
16 Stimulus funds and salary savings (due to unfilled, but open positions) carried over from 2009-2010 account for the increase. Also,
a change in licensing procedures resulted in some payments for items purchased in 2009-2010 being made in 2010-2011.
17 A large portion of binding was discontinued in 2009-2010 due to the switch to electronic resources, but some of this was
reinstated in 2010-2011, due to electronic access issues.

ISSN was compared to the list of active print/other serial titles derived from the Innovative Interfaces Serials Control module.

ISSNs or with no ISSNs at all. Both lists (electronic and print/other) were then sorted into purchased/non-purchased.
