CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES

4 Increase consortial and local can be attributed to PDA and DDA programs in place for FY 2015.
10 Major components of the UCLA employee benefit expenditures include the following: OASDI,
Medicare, health insurance, life insurance, non-industrial disability insurance, workers
compensation, unemployment insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, vacation accruals,
and retirement contributions.
11 Not applicable at UCLA. Actual employee benefit expenditures are based on individually
calculated and recorded benefit expenditures by type of employee benefit expense.
16 The decrease for the number of reference transactions can be due to several factors, which we
can’t single out at this time. We updated our library website, making it easier for users to locate
what they need. We handle more in-depth research sessions we track the amount of time
spent with the researcher and this has increased significantly, decreasing the number of actual
reference transactions. We updated our tracking for SIA (Summary of Instructional Activities)
interactions more comprehensively and can be inclusive with the reference transaction. We are
transitioning to a new access services model and it can be that staff are not tracking each of their
interactions correctly as they are learning the new model.
18–19 Increase attributed to how we are collecting data and the use of services to gather data.
20 As an outdated tool it is no longer used or taught by our librarians.
