2 This includes 634,413 net volumes added and 268,315 UM items that became available through
HathiTrust in FY 2011–2012. This excludes 686,506 digitized volumes in HathiTrust from other
institutions.
4 This includes 536,945 new e-books added FY 2011–2012 and 388,621 UM-owned HathiTrust fully

Inside MSU the previous year.
16 Staffing irregularities in branch libraries resulted in uneven reporting of reference transactions
during 2011–12 and account for some of the drop from the previous year.
17 This number has been verified. There was a drop in circulation.
18 This figure represents full-text article requests for electronic journals platforms such as ScienceDirect
and Wiley Online Library. The total is substantially lower than last year because non-COUNTER
platforms have not been included this year.
19 This figure represents searches in COUNTER-compliant databases. The total is substantially lower
than last year because non-COUNTER platforms have not been included, and because only databases
are represented, in keeping with the instructions. Platforms which are primarily full-text journal
aggregations have not been included this year.
22 The data has been verified. The count for filled requests received from other libraries is accurate.
25 Gathering data for the instructional faculty was problematic this year due to the new personnel
system at MSU it proved to be very difficult to mine for data, and there are some terms (like
instructional faculty) that used to be simple to define and extract and are now practically impossible.
The data is as accurate as can be provided.
29 The total number for part-time graduate students has been verified. The count is accurate.
