Footnotes

1.a.  The change from 5,665,241 to 5,785,496 is the result of a one time down load of ebook MARC records into the catalog of 120,255 monographic titles.
1.b.ii.  Increase due to the Divinity School library withdrawing more books from the collection in FY07 and the Law Library reducing its collection to prepare for reduced shelving space in a renovated library.
4.  Decrease due to new serial count methodology established by ARL.
15.a.  Large increase in monographic expenditures is the result of extensive additional funding for FY08-12 from the University Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) for acquiring electronic journal back files and retrospective electronic collections.

19.  Decrease due to a decrease in other operating expenditures in FY07.

23.a.  Included are expenditures for four bibliographic utilities:  SOLINET cataloging services, GOBI Plus (YBP); YBP cataloging records for approval, and RLG Union Catalog.  Increase over FY06 due to omission of SOLINET charges in responses in previous years.
