FLORIDA STATE
Library branches included: Main Library (Strozier) Dirac Science Library College of Engineering
Library Allen Music Library Goldstein College of Information Library Ringling Museum of Art
Library Panama City, Panama Library and Panama City, Florida Library and Special Collections
(includes Claude Pepper Center, Special Collections &Heritage Protocol).
Library branches NOT included: Florence Study Center and London Study Center.
Data from the Law and Health Sciences Libraries are included in the figures reported.
6 Florida State University Libraries’ overall expenditures have decreased due to a loss of $700,000 in
federal stimulus funds.
7 The definition of this figure has changed, leading to the increased figure compared to previous years
(which were under a different definition).
10 Fringe benefits include salary Social Security match, salary Medicare match, defined benefit
retirement match, ORP defined contribution match, PEORP defined contribution match, pretax
admin assessment, health insurance employer contribution, and state life insurance contribution.
13.b The number of support staff dropped this reporting period due to losing stimulus funded positions
and due to not filling some vacant positions because of budget constraints.
16 The drop in the number of reference transactions reported is due to a change in statistics gathering
procedure at the public service points on the floor.
25 This figure is the most recent reported to IPEDS, which was the Fall 2010 figure.
28–29 This data is overall graduate enrollment as reported by Florida State University to IPEDS minus
Law and Medical graduate enrollment (reported separately) for Fall 2011. See http://nces.ed.gov/
ipeds/datacenter/Snapshotx.aspx?unitid=acaeafabb4b2. The overall rise in graduate students is most
probably caused by a concerted effort by the university to increase the recruiting and retention of
graduate students.

11 25% -Librarians and Staff 8.3% -students. Editor’s Note: Published figure reflects the official
designated percent for the Health Sciences Library, as this is the maximum value entered for this
question.
13.c This year’s count is more accurate physical count not relying on old payroll data as in previous year.
14–15 Numbers reflect an attempt to cut back on sessions for UW classes. There will be expansion in
instruction in other departments.
24 There was a miscount in previous years of doctoral programs.
