It does not cover all materials for which expenditures are reported in the Collection Expenditures section. Unless otherwise indicated, report for each item, title, and physical unit the amount held at the end of the fiscal year. Physical units are volumes, items, or pieces. For reporting purposes, a title is a publication that forms a separate bibliographic whole, whether issued in one or several volumes, reels, or disks. The term applies equally to printed materials, such as books and periodicals, as well as audio and video materials. Report only items the library has acquired as part of the collection, whether purchased, leased, licensed, or donated as gifts. Do not count un-catalogued paperbacks. Most software systems include a method of determining number of titles. Libraries should use whatever method their software provides. If no method is available, an estimate should be made. NOTE: For purposes of this survey, units are defined as "units of acquisition or purchase". The"unit" is determined by considering whether the item is restricted to a finitepumber of simultaneous users or an unlimited number of simultaneous users. Finite simultaneous use: units of acquisition or purchase is.bas"ed on the number of simultaneous usages acquired (equivalent to purchasing multiple copies,of a single title). For example, if a library acquires a title with rights to a single user at a time, then:that item is counted as 1 "unit"; if the library acquires rights to a single title for 10 simultaneous user's,' enpat item is counted as 10 "units" Unlimited simultaneous use: units of acquisition or purchasetis,based on the number of titles acquired For example, if a library acquires a collection of 100 books with unlimited simultaneous users, then that collection would be counted as 100 "units". \�'s r Y ti . d/ Does the library have a catalog,otits.holdings,available to the public that is 6.0 !Yes searchable, either manually or electronically, at a`minimum by author, title, ❑ No and subject?
