Rippey Library at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology and Portland Library and Learning
Commons at UO Portland.
We have a new ILS and collection counts vary significantly from previous years. This may also
be impacting the number of database searches and federated searches.
1, 4 UO implemented a new ILS and counting algorithm is different than with previous system. This
is what we have going forward and presumably is a one-time correction.
7 Spending down accumulated gift and endowment funds in addition to a major Rare Books
purchase.
7.b UO implemented a new ILS and counting algorithm is different than with previous system. This
is what we have going forward and presumably is a one-time correction.
9 Reduced discretionary spending.
10 Includes health care premium, retirement contribution, payroll taxes (social security,
Medicare), workers comp premium, and bus pass.
11 There is no designated percentage. It works out to approximately 31% of salary plus $14,000 per
year per employee for the health care premium.
13.c FTE is an estimate based on salaries paid, as campus no longer provides total hours data.
15 Last year’s number was inaccurate.
16 Not sure if the big drop is real or an anomaly produced by the sample weeks.
18–20 Counter data continues to show big year-to-year swings. This is probably not a reliable number.
21–22 Borrowing and lending are both declining.
23 Number extrapolated from sample weeks.

1 Increase is due in part to the change in definition and in part to a change in our data preparation
method.
2 Changed basis of volume count to bibliographic.
