8. Decrease due to reporting some Computer Files as Digital Collections this year, in Sup. no. 10.

15.a. & 21. Decrease apparent because in past fiscal years Strategic Initiative Funding supplemented the Collections Budget. This funding has decreased in FY09.

24. Decrease apparent because in past fiscal years hardware was refreshed for all library staff and for library patrons during renovations.  This hardware replacement cycle did not occur to the same degree in FY09.

40. & 42. These numbers fluctuate annually based on normal enrollment fluctuation in various academic departments.
