3 Count for print is physical count count for e-books is bibliographic record count.
7.c Consists of: ILL: $68,754 (different counting method from last year: did not count funds transferred
to and spent by Admin) MARC records, vendor services $297,409 memberships $98,197 Rec Reading
$6,291 and shipping $62,811.
11 Percentage does not include estimate of $5k annually for health insurance.
16 This year we changed from using a sampling method to collecting and reporting daily counts of

19 Decline reflects a mix of the following possible reasons: (1) vendor over reporting in prior years due
to inclusion of federated searches in total for regular searches, (2) new platforms with usage reporting

21 We only saw a 6% drop in loans along with an 11% drop in copies. The drop in copies is likely due

outside of Kansas libraries we send to, are going more with e-books and some purchase on demand.
KANSAS, cont.
22 The biggest reason for the reduction is likely licensed e-content. About two thirds of our borrowing
is copies. Locally, we licensed a package called the Elsevier Freedom Collection, which supplemented
what we were receiving from Elsevier and likely led to a drop of several thousand.
