16 This is a question we are investigating ourselves. We think a number of factors have contributed,
including new system for tracking statistics, new web site with new branding of services, new instant
messaging platform, a dramatic increase in student quality, and perhaps this is part of larger trend.
19 Our Swets statistics aggregation service is starting to report results from a core set of vendors. This
number is much more realistic than in previous years, but still does not reflect a complete total of activity.
20 No Federated Search Engine currently in use at KSUL.

Library branches included: This report (“Main Library”) includes statistics for Special Collections, which

1 Last year’s figures were erroneously low, due to an error in the title report that was run.
7.c Detailed breakdown is not available.
8 Variance caused by vacancies due to retirements, which have not yet been filled.
12 Last year, this figure erroneously included the Libraries’ membership fee for the LOUIS consortium,
which is part of the Libraries’ budget rather than being from external sources. This year, only support
received via the consortium from the Board of Regents is included.
15 This figure includes attendees at outreach presentations that were not previously included in the count. In
addition to this, we have substantially increased the number of presentations made, in order to improve
outreach.
19 This number has increased because of implementation of a discovery service and a better understanding
of COUNTER reports.
20 This number reflects resources within a discovery service.
