B.7 Increase books on April 3, 2008 4 reserve loan programs and library services B.7. Reserves include print (books, readings, exams); AV (videos, DVDs, CDs, Cassettes) The “total” includes circulation of books (mostly required textbooks), readings, exams, as well as audiovisual materials --- all course- related and deemed by faculty to be important for student academic success. If we compare stats from 2005 to 2008, it appears that there has been a n increase in reserve loan programs. **In previous years, monthly reserve statistics for March, April, May and June have averaged 3,500 total circulations per month. If the 3,500 per month ballpark figure (this adds an additional 14,000 circs) is added to 27,608, we could estimate that for ’07-’08 “approximately” 41,608 reserve items circulated. ***Even if we lower the total monthly average figure to 3,000 (need to add 12,000 to the 27,608 instead of 14,000), we would still see an increase and could state that for ’07-’08 “approximately” 39,608 reserve items were loaned , 3,000 more than the previous year.
