6 This total is a sum total which includes a collections figure that has been calculated differently
than in the past.
7 This total is a combination of funds used to acquire new materials added to our collection and/
or digitize collections. For example, CRL will use collection budget funds to digitize material
from its collection that may be too fragile to circulate. However, it is not easy to separate the
funds to report this figure. This figure differs from how it was reported previously.
8.a–8.b, 13.a–13.c Some of the FY14 Support Staff moved up to Professional Staff during FY15 (which is also why
the Support Staff FTE went down slightly in FY15). This change resulted in higher salaries
commensurate with their new position and classification.
8.c, 13.c Fewer student aides employed, resulting in less salary spent.
