Data from the Medical Library are included in the figures reported. Medical library statistics cannot
be disaggregated from the main because the medical collection is an integral part of the Sciences
Library.
13.a Hired a number of staff into new and/or re-purposed positions.
14 Change in the method and web tool used to gather statistics. Reduction in the number of class
sessions (partly due to staff transitions).
16 Change in the method and web tool used to gather statistics. Reduction in the number of
transactions.
27, 29 Change due to annual fluctuations in part-time students.
CALGARY
All figures are as of 04/30/2012.
Library branches included: This survey includes Taylor Family Digital Library, Gallagher Library of
Geology &Geophysics, Law Library, Business Library, Health Sciences Library, Health Information
Network Knowledge Centres, Calgary Learning Centre (collections data only), Downtown Campus
Library, The Military Museum Library, and Doucette Library of Teaching Resources.
1 The increase in this number due to the fact that now we are reporting titles in all formats.
2 This includes 2,899,000 print volumes and 820,773 electronic books. The electronic materials include:
books purchased through vendors, books that come as part of aggregated services, internally
digitized books, electronic theses and dissertations, digitally created archival collections, books
distributed on CD Rom, and titles freely available on the web but under bibliographic control.
6–9, 10, 12 Expenditures as reported in Canadian dollars — Collections Expenditures: (7a) $2,388,310 (7b)
$8,764,686 (7c) $1,200,038 (7) $12,353,034 Salary Expenditures: (8a) $6,272,754 (8b) $8,242,382 (8c)
$621,310 (8) $15,136,446 (10) $3,109,250 Overall Expenditures: (7) $12,353,034 (8) $15,136,446 (9)
$1,005,400 (6) $28,494,880 (12) $243,991. NOTE: Total Salaries and Wages (Q8) EXCLUDES Fringe
Benefits Expenditures (Q10).
7.c Collections support includes: document delivery, binding, shipping, system software, metadata,
memberships, evaluations, and shelf-ready processing.
9 There is a decrease in operating expenditures mainly due to a large decrease in digitization work
because we did not receive any grants for digitization this year.
10 Fringe benefits includes: extended health care, dental, accidental death and dismemberment, pension,
wellness spending, tuition support, and professional expense reimbursement.
11 The percentage for designated benefits varies by staff category — for academics it is 21%, for other
professional staff it is 22% and for support staff it is 22.5%
16 The number of reference transactions increased largely due to the move to the Taylor Family Digital
Library with many new products/services being offered.
20 This category within Scholarly Stats does NOT include usage of Summon (our unified Discovery
Service which we would include in the category of federated searches. Total searches from SUMMON
for the same time period is 1,457,338).
22 Decrease is due to the increased usage of electronic resources as they reduce the demand for
interlibrary borrowing.
29 The significant reduction in part-time graduate students is due to some restructuring in the graduate
programs in the Faculty of Education. This has resulted in a decrease of part-time grads and an
increase of full-time graduate students.
