SASKATCHEWAN cont.
9 A large portion of this difference is due to the moving costs of the health sciences library, in the
previous fiscal year, which was about $235k between moving and equipment purchases. The
remainder of this difference is made up of items such as lower costs on repairs and maintenance,
external services, equipment, &software.
12 No such expenditures this fiscal year.
17 Decrease reflects emphasis on electronic material resulting in decreased circulation of physical
material. Also excludes in-house circulations from Special Collections that were included in
previous years (649 in-house circulations from 13 Special Collections removed in 2014/15).
Although not included in the total, in 2014/15, we recorded 10,183 files/items retrieved from the
archival collection (not catalogued in Sierra). Of these, approx. 54% were used by library patrons
in person, based on the means of access recorded for the 950 users accessing this material.
The remainder of the material was used by staff to respond to reference enquiries, including
scanning or copying items for remote users. A very small portion of this total includes Special
Collections material signed out to patrons without a library card (42 items).
18 Based on the 2014 calendar year. Includes usage for 50,173 titles. Data not collected for all
journals (ongoing process to add publishers and journals to our store of data). Increase due to
usage data obtained for ~14,000 more titles this year.
20 University of Saskatchewan does not use a federated search engine.
21–22 Includes ILL activity for all branch libraries.
24 Includes MD, DMD, JD, PhD, DVM. 2014 Academic Year.
25 Distinct count of Degree and Major. 2014 Academic Year.
26 Reported as faculty headcount. Restricted to FT faculty. Prior years reported full-year
annualized FTE and included PT faculty. Our definition includes tenured librarians (31
headcount) and faculty in clinical roles who also have research responsibilities (101 headcount).
A review of clinical faculty with research responsibilities (not easily defined as clinicians or
faculty) is underway with the potential to impact numbers in future years.
27–28 Reported as head count. Values matched with Fall Census report. Fall 2014.
29 Reported as head count. Fall 2014. PGCL and Non-Degree are not considered as Graduate
Studies.
30 Reported as head count. Fall 2014.
