1- The number for 2007-2008 1a is different than the number for the
2006-2007 question 1 due to a mathematical error in the 2006-2007 report. The
correct number for 1 in 06-07 is 2,989,700.
4 -- serials were counted using a different method for 2007-2008. This
is an accurate count. 15c -- Increase
in this category is due to the inclusion of previously excluded categories:
Database access and E-books. 23b --
Last year's number was based on an incorrect formula. The figure for
2006-2007 should have been 510,790.
29 -- a new partnership between Strozier and the First Year Experience
greatly increased the number of instruction sessions. 31.The drop in reference transactions is
due to an error made in the 06-07 survey. That number included directional
transactions which should not be included in that category. The correction
was made in this year's survey. 36 --
the 2006-2007 figure is incorrect. It should be 631. That puts the increase
within the normal range. S1 -- the
number for 2006-2007 was entered incorrectly. The correct number was 451,737.
This puts the percentage change within normal range. S4 -- This large
increase is attributed to the fact the program did not run the entire
previous Fiscal Year at the Main Library but was in place for the entire FY
2007-2008. It also due to the increasing popularity of this service. All FSU
Libraries reporting this number showed large increases. S9a -- Large increase due to Law Library
not counting this number in previous year and other libraries found an
increase in their numbers. S9b -- Not
counted last year. S13 --Not counted this year. |
4a
& 4b) Decrease in serials purchased represents
de-duplication efforts and moving much of our consortial titles to not
purchased. 15b) Includes all
electronic journals that were previously included as electronic expenditures in
other library materials. |
The
significant changes in Q 17a and 17b represent an
attempt for the salary figures to more closely match the classification of
employees as shown in Q 26. Previous
figures did not match as closely due to the manner in which salaries were
reflected in our campus budgeting system. |

where indicated in footnotes. 4.b. This figure (5117) is for the University

1.a 5,643 added to historical count due to retrospective government
document cataloging; Health Sciences had a difference in FY07 volumes held
9/30/07 (17,857) and FY08 volumes held 9/30/07 (20,791) due to adjustments to
problem records in ILS. 2. 5,821
e-books included in monographic volumes purchased. 4. Number increased significantly from
2006-2007 due to new ARL counting procedures and better local tracking in Serials
Solutions knowledgebase. De-duplicated using best practices procedures
distributed by ARL for Serials Solutions. De-duplicated using ISSNs and other
ids as described in best practices document. For the electronic titles, there
were 30,598 without ISSNs. 4.b.i &

1. Year is May 1 - April 30; included in this number are 57,563
electronic books, from NetLibrary, Springer, MD Consult, McGraw-Hill Access
Medicine, Books at Ovid, R2 Library, StatRef, and a few others; locally
digitized electronic books and electronic theses and dissertations are not

adjusted because of a previous year's error.
2. Included are 3229 electronic
books, from Springer, MD Consult, McGraw-Hill Access Medicine, Books at Ovid,
R2 Library, StatRef, and a few others; there have been decreases in monograph
budget due to budget reduction.
4. This year's figure for
serials represents total access to serials, no matter the format or source;
electronic access figure provided by Serials Solutions, added to libraries'
print-only subscription numbers.
11. This number is
significantly lower than previous year's numbers because the medical library
discarded all materials which fall in this category. 15.b. Libraries have added greater
granularity to object cost codes and placed some costs for library materials
in different categories this year.
15.c. Libraries have added greater granularity to object cost codes
and placed some costs for library materials in different categories this
year. 24. The higher number is because a maintenance desktop/server
contract fee of is included this year.
30. The higher number in this
category reflects that library instruction has been an area of emphasis in
the past year for both libraries.
32. Does not exclude a small
number of hard-copy reserves; however, most reserves are electronic reserves,
which are excluded. 33. Does not exclude a small number of
hard-copy reserves; however, most reserves are electronic reserves, which are

Question 15c and 15d: had a big difference between FY06-07 and
07-08 because we switched the way we counted databases. Previously, they fell into Miscellaneous,
this year it seemed more appropriate to put them in other library
materials. Question 26c: We used FTE
to calculate for Student assistants in this year. Previous year, head count was used so a big
difference was happened. As a result, there was also a big difference for
question 26, too. Question S.11: For
the major of digital projects are at:
http://specialcollections.uncc.edu/exhibits/index.php For the manuscripts
collection, it is available at: http://specialcollections.uncc.edu/manuscripts/index.php.
Questions S.12: The Atkins Library
Special Collections Department at UNC Charlotte has received a grant of
$24,607 to enhance its New South Voices oral history database. The grant will allow Special Collections to
add digitized transcripts and audio of more than 200 oral history interviews
related to Civil Rights, Education, the African-American experience, and the
Native American experience in North Carolina to the publicly available
database, which already contains some 600 interviews. Additionally, to provide further historical
context for the interviews, supplemental material from manuscript collections
will be digitized and integrated into lesson plans designed by Middle and
High School social studies teachers as part of a two weeks hands-on institute
to utilize oral history materials in the classroom. This project is supported by $48,680 in
grant funds from the federal institute of Museum and Library Services under
the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as admistered by
the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the NC Department of
Cultural Resources and 10% in matching funds from UNC Charlotte. |
