$2,216,638 (6) $36,265,279 (12) $27,764. NOTE: Total Salaries and Wages (Q8) EXCLUDES Fringe

11 Editor’s Note: Published figure reflects the official designated percent for the École Polytechnique
de Montréal Library, as this is the maximum value entered for this question.
NEBRASKA
Library branches included: Love Memorial Library, Architecture Library, C.Y. Thompson Library,
Engineering Library, Geology Library, Mathematics Library, and Music Library.
Data from the Law Library are included in the figures reported.
1 We have migrated from predominately recording statistics manually to obtaining statistics via
Encore Reporter. This provides, for this year and forthcoming years, a more accurate account of titles.
7.c For the main library, we encountered some difficulty in separating out numbers for this category. Our
numbers are as follows: contract binding -$52,785, thesis contract binding -$44,272, and interlibrary
loan -$74,144.
8 Cost Recovery -1.0 FTE &Grants -4.0 FTE.
10 Fringe benefits are not paid from the library budget. Calculations: professional: $3,165,186 *27.9%=
$883,087, support staff: $2,881,503 *34.4%= $991,237. Student assistants are not eligible for fringe
benefits.
11 Rate for professional staff is 27.9% rate for support staff is 34.4%.
12 The library receives this amount from the Nebraska Library Commission for assistance with six
databases.
14 We have recently updated the position of Instruction Librarian. The staff member in the position is
actively pursuing opportunities for student instruction and training.
16 This number reflects a significant decrease from the previous year. The most likely causes are the
availability of more information online and a decrease in activity during the sampling period.
17 In the comparison between FY 2010–11 and FY 2011–12, circulation increased during six months and
decreased during six months. The percentage, however, during the increased circulation months
averaged 30% while the months of decreased circulation averaged 14%.
21 Increases and decreases in material supplied to other libraries are normal for us. For example, we
provided over 33,000 items in 2007-08, approximately 32,000 in 2008-09, and then approximately
28,000 in 2010–11.
23 We are including the professional degrees such as the Juris Doctorate which we were not counting in
previous years.
24 We are now counting the professional degree fields.
25 The University offered a one year “buyout” to faculty with 20 years and near retirement age.
NEW MEXICO
Library branches included: Centennial Science and Engineering Library, Fine Arts and Design
Library, Parish Memorial Library, and Zimmerman Library.
Data from the Law and Health Sciences Libraries are included in the figures reported.
10–11 Calculated using 29% faculty, 32.5% staff, 1% students.
