On July 1, 2012, Harvard University reorganized its library functions, consolidating most of the Access
Services, Preservation and Digital Imaging Services, and Information and Technical Services staff into a
single entity. In addition, the IT, Communications, and HR staff became part of the university’s respective
Central Administrative departments. This reorganization has resulted in a change in the way the library’s
expenses are reported. The number of staff and expenses for staff (Questions 8, 10, and 13) have decreased
due to the shift of the IT, Communications, and HR staff. The Other Operating Expenditures category
(Question 9) has increased, to reflect the fees we now pay to Central Administration for these services.
