16.a Our monograph expenditures in 2009-2010 were 47% lower than in 2008-2009. Our 2010-2011 monograph expenditures include
$291,543 in purchases of major e-book collections. In 2009-2010, we failed to report 49,839 electronic books that had been added
to the collection. The 2010-2011 figure for question 3 (Monographs purchased) has been revised to include these items. Taken
together, these factors result in a monograph unit cost that is lower than our 2009-2010 monograph unit cost.
18.a We have reported fewer positions because eleven positions that we had previously reported have been removed from these
figures though those positions are part of our wider University Library System organization, we no longer identify them as part
of the University Libraries proper.
35 During 2010-2011, the WSU Libraries were transitioning from ArticleReach to Rapid. During the transition, our lending counts
decreased.
WESTERN ONTARIO
All figures are as of 04/30/2011.
Library branches included: Archives and Research Collections Centre, C.B. "Bud" Johnston Library (Business), Education Library,
John and Dotsa Bitove Family Law Library, Music Library, Allyn and Betty Taylor Library, The D.B. Weldon Library.
1.a Volumes held revised to 4,186,436. 581,285 e-books added, which equals a total of 1,081,401 e-books. Additions included one-off
purchases, government publications, and some packages.
5.b.ii Includes government publications.
5.b.iv Unable to separate out government publications in 2010-2011.
13-14 Includes audio for all Western Libraries previously indicated audio in Music Library only.
14 Includes video for all Western Libraries previously indicated video in Music Library only.
16-26 Expenditures as reported in Canadian dollars: (16a) $2,380,749 (16b) $9,366,763 (16c) $0 (16d) $0 (16) $11,747,512 (17) $95,028 (18a)
$4,905,242 (18b) $4,098,366 (18c) $201,548 (18) $9,205,156 (20) $611,928 (21) $21,659,624 (22) $245,869 (23) $7,323,682 (24a) $268,580
(24b) $0 (25) $589,238 (26) $17,353.
16.c Not able to separate out "other library materials".
WISCONSIN
Library branches included: Main (GLS) (General Library System): Archives, Art, Astronomy, Biology, Business, Chemistry,
College, Geography, Geology &Geophysics, Math, Memorial, Music, Physics, Primate, School of Library &Information Science
(SLIS), Social Science, Social Work, Special Collections, Steenbock (agric &life sci), and Wendt (eng). Non-GLS Libraries: Health
(Ebling), Law, Map, Education (Merit), Primate, and Wisconsin Historical Society (American history).
Library branches NOT included: American Indian Studies Program, Arboretum, Cooperative Children's Book Center, Center for
Demography &Ecology, Chican@ &Latin@ Studies, Journalism Reading Room, Max Kade German-American Institute, LGBT
Campus Center, Limnology Reading Room, Learning Support Services, Morgridge Center Library, Plant Pathology Library,
Space Library, Trout Lake Collection, University Communications Library, and the Wisconsin's Water Library.
11 Number of physical units may include accompanying material. The increase for cartographic material is 1,068. This total includes
40 new maps and 1,028 maps from the retrocon transfer project. Geology staff processed, barcoded, and added 1,068 maps that
had been transferred from the Map Library. This number excludes a significant number of transferred maps which have not yet
been added. As these maps are processed and added, they will be included in the statistics.
35 During 2010-2011 UW observed notable increases in electronic resources with licensing that allowed for ILL. During the course
of 2009-2010, UW had spent considerable effort with on-site licensing staff towards increasing ILL support for held electronic
resources. The changes have been significant. UW went from a limited ability to supply 'electronic resources' to being able to
provide notably more due to transitioning to licenses that allowed for ILL usage.
42 Based upon the UW Madison's Office of Budget Planning &Analysis (OBPA) (the educational data source), in 2009-2010, graduate
students were defined in such a way as to exclude 'professional students' resulting in the reported figure 7,147. In 2010-2011, the
IPEDS definition of graduate students allowed for the inclusion of professional students and so the figure for full-time 'graduate
students' was 9,897. If the IPEDS definitions was the same in 2010-2011 as in 2009-2010, the reported number of students would
have been 7,349.

the past year.
5.b.iv Many government documents were canceled because of budgetary and availability elsewhere.
9 Purchased more computer files.
16.b The Yale Library has experienced budget cuts and has been reporting all electronic purchases under "other materials" so the cost
of serials/title appears understated. In 2010-2011, we reduced the number of print serials significantly so our serials unit cost is
much less in 2010-2011 than it was in 2009-2010.
17 Binding less materials.
22 Tracking not done well in the past.
23 All ongoing electronic resource purchases have been recorded under other collection expenses (Q16.c).

16.d, 24.a This is reflective of the Libraries goal to purchase more shelf-ready materials.
32 In 2010-2011 we began a reference statistics project, changing the way reference statistics are kept. This resulted in weeding out
non-reference questions and therefore the overall number of what are considered "reference" questions has gone down.
