15. Personnel Budget FY2003-13
Static budget for library operations personnel
Fluctuations are from non library functions that have come
and gone from the library (e.g. Print Shop, Teaching
Resource Center, Video Studio)
Responding to changing library operations must be
accomplished with current personnel budget
16. Shifting via Attrition
Need librarians to cover expanding services—
Instruction, Digital Commons, IR, Data
Curation, Archives, Publication
Converted two vacant staff positions to librarians –
instruction and systems/IR
Converted a vacant tech services librarian position to an
archivist/digital commons librarian
Merged tech services with systems/collection development
librarian position
Gate count decreased by 44% from FY01 to FY07 then stabilized. We opened the new library in FY01. The FY99 gate count in the old building was 222,334.The decline through from FY01 to FY07 may have been partially from the beginning availability of online resources, the development of computers in labs around the campus, and the gradual loss of the newness of the building.
